Founded in 1784, Clarksville is one of the South's most historic cities. Visitors and residents alike experience that history through memorable attractions, unique architecture, and a variety of festivals and events. Today, as Tennessee's fastest growing city behind only Memphis and Nashville, Clarksville is proud to offer the best of both a rich heritage and a vibrant city on the move.

A mild climate with four distinct seasons, a central location, and low cost of living, are just a few of the reasons over 100,000 residents call Clarksville home... and we're continually ranked as a top quality community by publications like Reader's Digest, Money Magazine, Demographics Journal, Expansion Management, Forbes and others.

Whether you're planning a visit or event, building a business, or relocating your home, we know you'll find that Clarksville-Montgomery County is an excellent choice.

Clarksville is proud to welcome back the Miss Tennessee USA® and Miss Tennessee Teen USA® pageants for an ninth consecutive year.

Both pageants will be held at Austin Peay State University's Music and Mass Communications Building, Oct. 4-6. "We're very happy to have the Miss Tennessee USA organization back for another year," said Theresa Harrington, executive director of the Clarksville-Montgomery County Convention & Visitors Bureau.

At least 130 delegates and nearly 1,200 family and friends are expected for both pageants - visitors that will spend an estimated $305,500 on lodging, meals and transportation while they're here.

Applications for both pageants are still being accepted. For more information contact the Miss Tennessee USA pageant office at 913.642.8989.
