Clarksville

Fort Campbell's neighbor

Clarksville is a common American place name, with cities in Tennessee, Arkansas, Indiana, and Texas among others.

The Tennessee city, just south of the Kentucky border, is the largest and best known—a military town adjacent to Fort Campbell.

The name honors George Rogers Clark, a Revolutionary War hero, or in some cases other settlers named Clark.
