==History==
[http://www.clarkboro.com/ Official Clark Borough, Mercer County Website]
Clark, Pennsylvania used to be called Clarksville back in the late 1950s. Because of flooding of the Shenango River a dam was built in Sharpsville, Pennsylvania and the borough of Clarksville was moved to higher ground that was farmland and forest. Houses were moved as well as a cemetery. Other houses that were not moved were used by the workers of the reservoir. They were then demolished. The Erie Canal extension went along this Shenango River route and is now under water. Clarksville had quite a history at one time with the Erie Canal coming through it. The old town is now covered by water, grass, trees and weeds. The only remains of it are some old asphalt streets that can be found amongst the trees, along with the main road, which is visible when the water is lowered. There is now a marina there that sits where businesses and residents used to be.
