Clarksville is an unincorporated community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in East Hants Municipality in Hants County. 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.
