Clark, Pennsylvania

Clark is a borough in western Mercer County, Pennsylvania, United States, on the southern shore of the Shenango River Reservoir, and is part of the Hermitage micropolitan area. The 2020 census counted 576 residents. It began as Clarksville, laid out in 1829 by Samuel Clark, who owned the land, with forty-nine lots, and was incorporated as a borough on May 5, 1848. In the early 1960s the entire village was moved so that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers could build a flood control dam on the Shenango River near Sharpsville, finished in 1965; a new village site was laid out on land to the south, and in 1968 the town took the name Clark. The borough has a total area of about 9.8 square kilometres, of which roughly 7.8 are land. Local landmarks include the NorthStar Marina, Pete's Berry farm and the Clark House.
