Clarksville is composed of a mixture of eclectic houses dating back to the late 1800s. The land on which the neighborhood was settled was once owned by Governor Elisha M. Pease. Rumor has it that Pease gave this land to his emancipated slaves with the arrogant expectation that if they lived close to his mansion they would remain in his service.


Clarksville was founded in 1871 as a freedman´s community, by Charles Clark, a former slave. The Sweet Home Baptist Church, now a restored historic landmark, served as the community meeting center. Elias Mayes, a black state legislator who worked to protect the rights given to African-Americans after the war, built his home on land purchased from Charles Clark in 1884. Many Clarksville residents farmed or worked in the cotton industry, while others held jobs in surrounding communities. Austin Landmarks.


In 1976, the Austin City Council approved the use a federal housing and community-development grant to finally pave streets permanently, improve drainage, and rehabilitate housing in Clarksville.
