Jay, the seat of Delaware County, is rich in Indian heritage and history. Many Cherokee Nation Tribal offices are located here and the area is included in the boundaries of the Cherokee Nation and benefits from many of the Nation's services. It is served by US Highway 59.
Jay was named for Jay Washbourne, grandson of a Cherokee missionary. Delaware County was established in 1907 from Cherokee County. It is said to have been named after the Delaware district of the Cherokee Nation, which derived its name from Delaware Town.
