Clarksville is located in Mecklenburg County 52 miles east of Danville between Finchley and Riverdale in the Central Region of the state. Clarksville is located just north of the North Carolina state line, on Hwy 58; the John H Kerr Reservoir and Dam, and Occoneechee State Park are nearby. Clarksville was named after its founder, Clarke Royster. The damming of the Roanoke River in the early 1950s had a major impact on the area, making Clarksville the only town on the 50,000-acre body of water named after an island upstream, Buggs Island Lake.
