Founded in 1784, Clarksville, the county seat of Montgomery County (as well as its only incorporated city), is one of the South's most historic cities. Visitors and residents alike experience that history through memorable attractions, unique architecture, splendid scenery, and a variety of festivals and events.
 
Today, Clarksville offers the best of both a rich heritage that stems from its foundation – the Cumberland River – and the vibrancy of a city on the move. Rapid growth and tremendous diversity don't deter Clarksvillians' gracious southern hospitality or the city's small-town charm.
 
The proud home of prestigious institutions like Fort Campbell, home to the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), and Austin Peay State University, Clarksville is centrally located on I-24 just 40 minutes northwest of Nashville.
