History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

The first census taken was in 1830; there were 88 residents.

Clarksville was incorporated in 1853, but known as "Dartmouth College Grant" until 1872. Clarksville derives its name from the Clark family, who cleared the land for settlement. The area was originally part of a tract granted to Dartmouth College; sections were sold off by the college to raise money. It was purchased by Benjamin Clark of Boston and Joseph Murdock of Norwich, Vermont.

In the late 19th century, major industries included starch and maple sugar. For many years the largest employers in town have been logging companies.
