The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Clarksville was laid out in 1829 by Samuel Clark, the owner of the land upon which the site was located. Originally, forty-nine
lots were laid out and sold. Clarksville was officially incorporated as a borough on May 5, 1848. In the early 1960s, the entire village was moved to allow the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build a Shenango River dam for flood control near Sharpsville. A new village site was laid out on property south of the old town. The original community moved to the present site following the construction of the dam, which was completed in 1965. In 1968, the town's new identity of Clark was established.
