Clarksville Seafood (1960) Includes: New Albany | Clarksville | Jeffersonville HISTORY 5·FACTS For thousands of years, the Falls of the Ohio — one of the largest exposed Devonian fossil beds in the world — remained the only hazard along 981 miles of a navigable river. Buffalo migrated across the Falls along a trace to Vincennes and the Wabash River. Native Americans followed. Eventually, other settlers did, too. In 1781, George Rogers Clark and his soldiers received 150,000 acres north of the Falls as a reward for their service during the Revolutionary War. Two years later, he founded Clarksville. Near the former colonial outpost of Fort Finney, Jeffersonville would follow in 1802. The Scribner brothers would found New Albany in 1813, the same year the territorial capital would move from Vincennes to a fedgling Corydon. There, in 1816, under the cooling shade of an elm tree, 43 delegates drafted a constitution and Indiana became a state. "When they shook hands, the Lewis and Clark Expedition began," wrote historian Stephen Ambrose in Undaunted Courage. The handshake happened at the Falls of the Ohio near the cabin of William Clark's older brother, Gen. George Rogers Clark. The Battle of Corydon occurred on July 9, 1863 as the Sixth Regiment of the Indiana Legion attempted to fght back Gen. John Hunt Morgan and his infamous Raiders. 916 Eastern Blvd., Clarksville // (812) 283-8588 Plan to arrive early at this always-packed venue for inexpensive, tasty fried seafood, fsh, burgers and chicken; homemade slaw, onion rings and hush puppies; all served on no-frills paper trays.
