Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Clarksville, Tennessee has a rich and vibrant history that dates back to the early 19th century. Founded in 1784 by General George Rogers Clark, the city was named in his honor and quickly grew into a bustling hub of activity along the Cumberland River. Clarksville played a crucial role in the Civil War, serving as a strategic location for both the Union and Confederate armies. During the post-war years, Clarksville saw rapid industrial growth with the establishment of factories and railroads, leading to a boom in population and commerce. The city continued to thrive throughout the 20th century, becoming a center for education, healthcare, and military presence with the nearby Fort Campbell army base. Today, Clarksville is a diverse and thriving community that celebrates its history while embracing modern progress. With a vibrant arts scene, strong economy, and picturesque surroundings, Clarksville remains a dynamic city that attracts visitors and residents alike.

The top 10 restaurants:
The Mailroom
116 N 2nd St, Clarksville, TN 37040
Clarksville natives are proud of their history and those roots are well preserved at the Mailroom, a spot pioneered by Wed Cunningham. Located in a former post office, the Mailroom serves scratch-made global dishes inspired by the destinations of the mail that used to pass through the building. Sample a Korean beef burger with a bulgogi patty and gochujang aioli or fried corn tortilla tacos doused in pico de gallo and cotija cheese.
Cafe 931
2551 Madison St, Clarksville, TN 37043
In the morning, locals line up at Café 931 for generously stuffed breakfast burritos packed with chorizo, potatoes, and egg or, for a more Southern spin, biscuit, gravy, sausage, and egg. This family-run restaurant serves recipes from their own ancestral cookbook. To shake up the breakfast routine, the café also serves acai bowls and horchata-blended coffee drinks. Don’t miss Taco Tuesdays where you can order up tacos on freshly made corn tortillas and try your hand at the weekly cornhole competition.
Legends Smokehouse & Grill, LLC
803 S Riverside Dr, Clarksville, TN 37040
This Black and veteran-owned spot serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a unique twist on barbeque. The menu sports cinnamon rolls topped with pulled pork, an Oreo banana pudding shake, and a PB&J bacon burger. Chef Kevin Smith runs the rapidly expanding hotspot with his family, and eaters in the know order off a secret menu inspired by Smith’s favorite sports teams and loved ones. Smith also prioritizes giving back — diners have the option of ordering an extra meal to be served at a local women’s shelter.
