Clarksville Homes
Clarksville, which is just over 1/2 square mile, is one of the densest neighborhoods in Austin, with more than 4000 residents. Once the home for former slaves, it’s considered a historic district with its community center and Sweet Home Baptist Church located there. It was founded by an emancipated slave named Charles Clark in 1871. Clarksville has some steep hills and a creek and had mostly unpaved streets until the mid-1970s.
