As the Clarksville Marinaproject is well under way, the City of Clarksville installs cameras to monitor progress of the new marina.
There are 3 cameras that are posted around the construction site to allow the public to watch the process of the development of the new Clarksville Marina. You can view each camera separately, zoom in on the area for a closer look, and also choose a date on the calendar to see past progress.
The City of Clarksville spent approximately $75,000 for these cameras. They will share the cost of the streaming video with the developers, contractors and the designers.
The Clarksville Marina is set to open in 2010. If intersted, now is the time to plan for your boat slip.

History
by Eleanor Williams, Montgomery County Historian
Long before the dawn of written history, humans inhabited the lands along the Cumberland and Red Rivers. Clarksville, the only station to become a city, was established in 1784 near the confluence of the two rivers.
The town was named for General George Rogers Clark, Indian fighter and Revolutionary War leader. In December 1785, North Carolina established Clarksville as a town. Despite frequent Indian attacks, the town survived and prospered.
In 1796 when Tennessee became the 16th state, Tennessee County, of which Clarksville was a part, was divided into Montgomery and Robertson Counties. The name Montgomery honored John Montgomery, who was a founder of Clarksville, as well as a renowned Indian fighter and Revolutionary War leader.
The early years of the 1800's were progressive ones, chiefly devoted to the building of roads, railroads and bridges, and the establishment of churches and educational institutions. When the Civil War began in the 1860's, the residents were forced to make a momentous decision concerning the loyalty of the Union. In June 1861, Montgomery County citizens cast 2631 votes for separation and 33 against. Fort Donelson, Fort Henry, and Fort Defiance were established in preparation of the Union advance, only to fall to Federal troops in 1862.
After the Civil War, traffic on the Cumberland River continued to be of great importance to the community and Clarksville became well known for its production of dark fired tobacco, its primary money crop. From 1900 to 1940, Clarksville's trade and business progressed with the growth of the town being closely connected to the county farming area.
Education became an important theme in the county with the establishment of the Rural Academy in 1806 on the present site of Austin Peay State University.
Military activity again would impact the county during World War II when the army established Camp Campbell in Montgomery County. Over 42,000 acres were purchased and in June 1942, relocation of facilities was completed. The post was named in honor of General William Bowen Campbell. On April 15, 1950, the post became Fort Campbell when it changed from a temporary installation to a permanent one.
Montgomery County furnished two governors to the state, William Blount and Austin Peay; a United States Supreme Court Justice and a Postmaster General, Horace Lurton and Cave Johnson, respectively. Clarksville has the distinction of being home to the oldest bank in the state, the Northern Bank established in 1854, now AmSouth Bank; the state's oldest newspaper, The Leaf-Chronicle, established in 1808; and the first and only bank in the world established and operated entirely by women, the Women's Bank of Tennessee that opened in 1919.
During the 20th Century, Montgomery County has profited from communication and mechanical technology with a growth in population and industrial expansion. No longer dependent upon an agriculture base, the county has become an important transport, industrial, retail, and professional center with numerous recreational facilities.
Today, Clarksville, county seat of Montgomery County, is Tennessee's fifth largest, and third fastest growing city, behind only Nashville and Memphis.

Fort Campbell
FORT CAMPBELL
One of the key factors in Clarksville's growth is the relationship which it has with adjoining Fort Campbell, Kentucky, home of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), the 160th Special Operations Aviaition Regiment (SOAR), 5th Special Forces Group and 101st Corps Support Group. The 101st Airborne Division is one of the most powerful and prestigious divisions, having made a name for itself during World War II as the Screaming Eagles in Bastogne, Market Garden, Holland. Today, the highly trained soldiers of the 101st are the world's only Air Assualt Division. The 101st participates in peacekeeping and humanitarian missions at home and abroad.
Over 30,000 soldiers and 55,000 family members call Fort Campbell home. The installation manages the records of some 4,000 civilians, with approximately $2.5 billion per year, making it the largest employer in both Tennessee and Kentucky.
