Our History<br />
WILMA RUDOLPH, OLYMPIC<br />
TRACK AND FIELD GOLD<br />
MEDALIST AND CIVIL RIGHTS<br />
TRAILBLAZER, who was paralyzed<br />
by polio as a young child, went on to<br />
be considered “the fastest woman<br />
in the world” in the 1960s, bringing<br />
home three gold medals from the<br />
1956 <strong>and</strong> 1960 Olympic Games.<br />
Named in her honor is a portion of<br />
Highway 79 along with the event<br />
center within Liberty Park. A bronze<br />
statue of Rudolph also adorns the<br />
exterior of the event center.<br />
Clarksville was established in 1784 near the confluence of the<br />
Cumberl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> Red Rivers, where John Montgomery <strong>and</strong> Martin<br />
Armstrong began creating a settlement. The area had great value not only<br />
in being near the water but also by being downstream from Nashville.<br />
The town was named for General George Rogers Clark, an Indian fighter<br />
<strong>and</strong> Revolutionary War leader.<br />
Though originally established as part of colonial North Carolina, Tennessee<br />
was eventually founded as the 16th state in 1796, at which point Tennessee<br />
County was divided into Montgomery <strong>and</strong> Robertson Counties.<br />
Although Clarksville endured hardships in its first 20 years, the early 1800s<br />
were devoted to building roads, railroads <strong>and</strong> bridges, as well as establishing<br />
churches <strong>and</strong> educational institutions. In 1806, Rural Academy was<br />
established on the present site of Austin Peay State University. Two years<br />
later, the state’s oldest newspaper, The Leaf-Chronicle, went to print.<br />
After the Civil War in the 1860’s, Clarksville grew in notoriety as a farming<br />
<strong>and</strong> trading town <strong>and</strong> became well-known for its tobacco production.<br />
Today, Clarksville is one of the fastest growing cities in the South.<br />

especially appealing is that the south<br />
end of Liberty Park is home to the<br />
Wilma Rudolph Event Center, with<br />
the bronze statue of Wilma Rudolph<br />
out front. This allows Liberty Park to<br />

was ranked the 68th fastest growing county in the<br />
country with a 3% growth of 5,935 residents, according<br />

Outdoor Recreation<br />
With four distinctly beautiful seasons, Clarksville is home<br />
to activities <strong>and</strong> events that can be experienced <strong>and</strong><br />
enjoyed all year long.<br />
In the spring, residents turn out in droves at local parks<br />
<strong>and</strong> trails, enjoying early blooms <strong>and</strong> birds at Dunbar Cave<br />
State Natural Area <strong>and</strong> Rotary Park, among others. The<br />
tranquil drive to Historic Collinsville transports you back to<br />
the mid-19th century <strong>and</strong> boasts some fine picnic spots,<br />
live music <strong>and</strong> more.<br />
Summer provides dozens of water, trails <strong>and</strong> outdoor<br />
activities. Walking, biking, hiking, kayaking/canoeing,<br />
fishing, boating, water skiing, golf are just a few of the<br />
ways to enjoy an active lifestyle.<br />
Fall is one of our most beloved seasons. Vibrant foliage<br />
makes the Greenway Trail System <strong>and</strong> RiverWalk<br />
especially popular. Austin Peay State University football is<br />
also a local favorite.<br />
While we do enjoy an occasional snowfall, mild winters<br />
make most outdoor activities enjoyable all year long.<br />

The City of Clarksville Parks <strong>and</strong><br />
Recreation Department (CPRD)<br />
maintains over 1,000 acres of parks<br />
<strong>and</strong> facilities. The 23 City parks<br />
offer a variety of amenities including<br />
playgrounds, picnic areas, walking<br />
trails, <strong>and</strong> pavilions. Several of the<br />
parks throughout Clarksville also<br />
feature restrooms, open play areas,<br />
outdoor fitness equipment, splash<br />
pads, basketball <strong>and</strong> tennis courts,<br />
<strong>and</strong> sports fields. Additionally, CPRD<br />
maintains four public swimming<br />
pools <strong>and</strong> three recreation centers<br />
with year-round programming for<br />
youth, adults, <strong>and</strong> seniors.<br />
WALKING/BIKING TRAILS<br />
The Clarksville Greenway is a great<br />
trail to get active or take a scenic<br />
walk through nature. This 5.5-mile<br />
trail is situated in north Clarksville<br />
along the banks of the Red River<br />
<strong>and</strong> West Fork Creek. It offers a<br />
wonderful experience for citizens<br />
<strong>and</strong> visitors with views of the river<br />
<strong>and</strong> beautiful forestry. Like the City’s<br />
other trails, it is a part of the<br />
Rails-to-Trails initiative that<br />
transforms scenic ab<strong>and</strong>oned<br />
railroad rights of way <strong>and</strong> river<br />
corridors into walking <strong>and</strong> biking<br />
trails. It has garnered statewide<br />
recognition for environmental<br />
stewardship as well as popularity<br />
among citizens. Native species of<br />
plants <strong>and</strong> animals can be viewed<br />
throughout the corridor. One of the<br />
unique features of the trail is the<br />
Raymond C. H<strong>and</strong> Pass, a 600-foot<br />
pedestrian bridge. Restrooms are<br />
available along the trail as well as<br />

Fort Campbell<br />
HISTORY<br />
Fort Campbell Army Post straddles the border of<br />
Kentucky <strong>and</strong> Tennessee. The post is named in honor of<br />
William Bowen Campbell, a former Tennessee Governor<br />
who served as a Union General in the Civil War. Fort<br />
Campbell was originally established (in 1942) as a<br />
war-time armor training <strong>and</strong> mobilization camp during<br />
WWII <strong>and</strong> became a permanent installation in 1950.<br />
From 1948 to 1965, the post was also home to Clarksville<br />
Base, a top-secret nuclear weapons storage <strong>and</strong><br />
modification facility. Over the years, Fort Campbell has<br />
been home to several airborne, armored <strong>and</strong> infantry<br />
units <strong>and</strong> has grown to become one of the Army’s most<br />
important permanent installations.<br />
Fort Campbell has been the home of the 101st Airborne<br />
Division (Air Assault), the only Air Assault division in the<br />
world, since 1956. Two prestigious Special Operations<br />
Comm<strong>and</strong> units, the 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne)<br />
<strong>and</strong> the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment<br />
(Airborne), have also been at Fort Campbell since the<br />
mid-1980s. In 2009, the 52nd Ordnance Group (EOD)<br />
relocated to Fort Campbell (from Fort Gilliam, GA) as part<br />
of 2005 Base Realignment <strong>and</strong> Closure (BRAC)<br />
stationing actions.<br />
Throughout its history, Fort Campbell has supported the<br />
training <strong>and</strong> deployment of front-line Army units involved<br />
in the nation’s wars, beginning with World War II through<br />
Vietnam <strong>and</strong> Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm, <strong>and</strong><br />
up to the current Overseas Contingency Operations.<br />
Since 2002, Fort Campbell units have been among the<br />
most deployed combat units in the Army.<br />
MISSION<br />
Fort Campbell is a power projection platform <strong>and</strong> a major<br />
maneuver installation for the Army. It is also the home<br />
of the Army’s most-deployed contingency forces.<br />
Strategically located on the KY/TN State line, the<br />
installation has the unique ability to deploy mission-ready<br />
contingency forces by air, rail, highway <strong>and</strong> inl<strong>and</strong><br />
waterway. US Army Garrison (Fort Campbell) mission is<br />
to support expeditionary forces by providing equitable<br />
<strong>and</strong> efficient services that sustain Fort Campbell <strong>and</strong><br />
enhance the well-being of the military community.<br />
According to latest Army projections, Fort Campbell will<br />

INFORMATION AND INSPIRATION<br />
The Chamber hosts periodic events like Women in Business <strong>and</strong> Power Breakfasts with speakers who educate <strong>and</strong><br />
inspire business owners <strong>and</strong> employees with their experiences. Their successes, challenges <strong>and</strong> lessons learned<br />
often provide needed encouragement. As one small business Chamber member recently shared,<br />
“Running a small business can be overwhelming. We’re trying to do something we love, but have to juggle that with<br />
finance, marketing, HR law, codes, insurance… <strong>and</strong> customers! It’s always inspiring <strong>and</strong> refreshing to hear that other<br />
people have gone through all of this <strong>and</strong> more... <strong>and</strong> made it.”<br />
NETWORKING<br />
Chamber events like Business After Hours, Business Before Hours <strong>and</strong> Golf Tournaments are networking<br />
events designed to provide relationship-building experiences that will benefit members <strong>and</strong> their businesses or<br />
organizations through added contacts <strong>and</strong> resources. The relaxed <strong>and</strong> welcoming environments are ideal places to<br />
engage peers, mentors <strong>and</strong> prospective customers.<br />
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES<br />
Events like the Home Show <strong>and</strong> Business Expo are prime opportunities to showcase your businesses products <strong>and</strong><br />
services to prospective customers <strong>and</strong>/or employees. Held throughout the year, these popular events draw large<br />
crowds with a predetermined interest. “We weren’t sure how successful exhibiting at the Home Show would be for<br />
us,” said a member mortgage provider. “But, we’ve gained a dozens of leads every year <strong>and</strong> secured several new<br />
home loans or refinances directly from our participation in the event.”<br />
