Origin: Clarksville was originally part of a large tract deeded by legislature to Dartmouth College in 1789, portions of which were sold to raise cash for the college. The land was purchased by two Dartmouth graduates, Joseph Murdock of Norwich, Vermont, and Benjamin Clark of Boston, and cleared for settlement by the Clark family. The town was incorporated as Clarksville in 1853, but was also known as Dartmouth College Grant until 1872. Clarksville is the second most northerly incorporated township in New Hampshire, lying south only to Pittsburg.
