Rossview

Rossview started as a sleepy farm community in the 1800s. When a postmaster needed a name for the area's new post office, he looked over at the nearby farm owned by James Ross. Being the only thing in plain view, the postmaster decided to name the office "Rossview" after Ross' farm. Soon after, locals began calling the entire town "Rossview."

Since then, Rossview lost its stance as a farming community. It was once an area unto itself, but is now within the Clarksville city limits. New neighborhoods and Rossview Middle and High schools dominate the area.
