Clarksdale

County seat of Coahoma County, was founded in 1869 by John Clark, for whom the town was named.  Situated in one of the most fertile regions of the world, it has grown into one of the leading cities of the Yazoo Mississippi Delta.  It has a just pride in its library, its schools, and its churches, and is an important market for long staple cotton. ~ text of marker
