General Information about Clarksdale

Clarksdale is a city in Coahoma County, Mississippi, United States. The population was 20,645 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Coahoma County[1]. It is located on the banks of the Sunflower River.
Clarksdale was named in honor of founder and resident John Clark, brother-in-law of politician James Lusk Alcorn, whose plantation home is nearby. Located in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, Clarksdale in the early 20th century was known as the "Golden Buckle in the Cotton Belt" with enormous plantations such as that of the Stovall family dominating the landscape. Clarksdale occupied a central place in the agricultural universe when in 1946 the John Deere Company perfected the development of the single row mechanical cotton picking machine at the nearby Hopson Plantation. This technological milestone quickly revolutionized American agriculture and changed the Mississippi Delta forever.
