Prior to the construction of the Midland Railway between Truro and Windsor, the area presently known as Clarksville was known as "Stanley". When the railway was completed, a station was constructed both at present-day Stanley and this community, and a new name was determined to be necessary. The community was named "Clarksville" after the Clark family, whose store had been a regular stopping place for railway officials during its construction.^[3]
