As Clarksville grew from downtown into the Cumberland River loop,
the city encroached on Southern Hills, a small farming community.
Clarksville eventually engulfed the town, and the area now makes
up the part of town south of the U.S. Highway 41A Bypass along
state Highway 48/13.
The area is best known for Fairgrounds Park, where Clarksville hosts
many of its events, such as the annual North Tennessee State Fair
each July.
Most of Southern Hills was owned by Gov. Austin Peay's family and William Daniel, an attorney. Jostens
Printing and Publishing Co. has a factory there.
