Clayton, a town in Johnston County, North Carolina, and considered a satellite town of Raleigh. A very small portion of the town extends into Wake County. As of 2010, Clayton's population was 16,116 people. Much of that growth can be attributed to the town's close proximity to the Research Triangle area and access to major highways such as I-40, U.S. 70, and NC 42. ^source
