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

Backed by a wall with interpretive signs about Summitt’s life, family and career. What makes this plan especially appealing is that the south end of Liberty Park is home to the Wilma Rudolph Event Center, with the bronze statue of Wilma Rudolph out front. This allows Liberty Park to be “bookended” by statues of two female athletic legends - both of them Olympic gold champions.
