Clarksville

CLARKSVILLE and Red River County are older than the State of Texas. Red River County once encompassed all or part of 39 different counties in Northeast Texas. James Clark founded Clarksville in 1833. Red River County was established in 1837 and in 1838, Clarksville became the county seat. Sam Houston, Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie all entered Texas through Red River County, thus our claim as the “Gateway To Texas.”

Our recently restored historic Red River County Courthouse was built in 1884-1885, with records dating back to the days of the Republic of Texas. The First Presbyterian Church in Clarksville, formed in 1833, is the oldest Protestant congregation in Texas. Clarksville is a Texas Main Street City and a Preserve America Community. Our historic
community beckons you to visit our antique stores, retail shops and restaurants. Visit the Texas Historic Cemetery where William Becknell, “The Father of the Santa Fe Tail” is buried. Tour the home of Charles DeMorse, known as “The Father of Texas Journalism”, Miss Belle’s House, the Old Jail Museum, the Lennox House, the First Presbyterian Church and the Clarksville Cemetery with the first burial dating back to 1838.

Come visit us soon. You’ll like our hospitality. We guarantee it!
