Clarksville is an unincorporated community partially in Lawrence Township, and partially in West Windsor Township, in Mercer County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[2] It was historically centered at the intersection of the Trenton-New Brunswick Turnpike, Quakerbridge Road and Province Line Road,[3] and had a blacksmith shop, saloon, store, hotel and school.[4] Today, Clarksville is dominated by several large shopping centers, including the Quaker Bridge Mall.[3]

In October 2019, the Historical Society of West Windsor published an online museum exploring the history of West Windsor, including the history of Clarksville.[5]
