Clarksville

The landscape around Clarksville is dominated by the broad waters of John H. Kerr Reservoir, which have shaped both the town’s waterfront form and its recreation-based economy. Near the Virginia–North Carolina border, Clarksville is closely tied to boating, fishing and the long shoreline of Kerr Lake, formed by the John H. Kerr Dam on the Roanoke River. Incorporated in 1818, the town developed as a tobacco-trading centre, and its downtown retains the character of a traditional small-town commercial district.
