Serving as the county seat of St. Louis County, Clayton is home to a county courthouse and other stately government buildings that define its metropolitan atmosphere.  Nearly 80,000 professionals and government employees commute to Clayton daily.  Clayton's burgeoning business district is also home to the headquarters of many successful Fortune 500 companies.  At the same time, Clayton attracts thousands of leisure visitors to its colorful community festivities.  More than 100,000 people attend the St. Louis Art Fair in Clayton each September.  Other special events include the Taste of Clayton food festival in June, the Gallery Night receptions, the summer Farmer's Market, and the Holiday Champagne Stroll each November.  Residential housing varies throughout Clayton's comfortable residential communities that include Brentmoor Park, Davis Place, and Claverach Park.  However, most neighborhoods feature large three and four-bedroom brick homes nestled on peaceful tree-canopied streets.  The majority of these sturdy, well-kept and elegant homes are anywhere from 40 to 100 years old.  Many art galleries, boutiques, and fine restaurants that are unique to Clayton are located within walking distance from most neighborhoods.  Clayton's sprawling Shaw Park, with its diving tower, outdoor pool, and ice arena, attracts both residents and visitors.
