History of Clarksville

The land that Clarksville sits upon actually belonged to former two-time Texas Governor, Elisha M. Pease.

In 1865, after emancipation, Pease sold land to a few of of his former slaves, who continued to work the land as freedmen. A few years later, Charles Clark, another freedman, purchased a couple of acres of his own and began shaping his dream for the community of Clarksville.

As the story is told, Clark shared that his dream was to create a place where former slaves could reunite with family, friends, and lost loves and be directors in their own lives from that point forward.

From this dream, the extraordinary community of Clarksville was born. Clarksville has stayed true to its roots, and continues to be a welcoming place where friends and family reunite.
