Clark is a borough in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 633 at the 2000 census.
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.

To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.
A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.
If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
