"A New American Classic Town," Clarksburg is a historic town with a bright future in its sights. The town was founded in 1752 and combines a charming rural ambience with new neighborhoods and business parks. Nature surrounds Clarksburg and can be experienced up close on the trails at Little Bennett Regional Park. Clarksburg is currently experiencing a boon in population and business growth, where a few notable companies such as Thales Communications and Eastman Strings are headquartered here, providing residents with a number of employment opportunities. Furthermore, the U.S. Naval Command, Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, and the Department of Energy are a few of the many federal offices located here, along with a number of Fortune 500 companies.
Proof of Clarksburg’s growth lies in the fact that planners for Montgomery County are currently drafting plans to create a Town Center, which also includes the Clarksburg Historic District; two new neighborhoods located east and west of Interstate 270; more employment opportunities along Interstate 270 corridor; open farmland and green space preservation, to name a few. Even though Clarksburg is a historically laden city, one can be certain that this is a city poised for growth in the immediate future.
