Traditional Walk sponsored by the Gateway Milers. The city of Clayton is the County Seat of St Louis County and is know as the second downtown of the St Louis area. In 1876 the City of St Louis split off from the county and a new location for the County Seat that was not more than a half days ride from the city of St Louis was searched for. Ralph Clayton donated 104 acres to the county for the County Seat if the area would be called by his name. This 104 acres is now the area of the main business district. The city of Clayton is known for it bustling business district and its pleasant residential areas.
