With the resolution of Clarksville’s legal status and town boundaries, the last decades of the 19th century saw an explosion in the town’s growth. The main center of activity was Howard Park, a huge development along todays Clark Blvd. north of Montgomery Ave. and bisected by Harrison Ave.. John A. and John H. Stotsenberg were instrumental in leading Howard Park’s growth. The area remained a center of development well into the 20th century. Howard Park would later be incorporated into the Town of Clarksville, but the area is still known as the Howard Park neighborhood.
