CLARKS, Eason’s Store, Harris Bluff, Cherryville: North of South Forked Deer River near the Crockett County Line, Clark’s is also known as Eason’s Store Community, and was first called Harris Bluff and then Cherryville. In the early 1800’s David Cherry and family settled here on a 1,000 acre grant and built a cotton gin, grist mill and sawmill. Cherryville was the first incorporated town in West Tennessee on October 18, 1821. Today the center of the community is at the intersection of Cherryville Road and Highway 54 North.

Fort Ridge used by the Confederates was originally a fortress build by the Indians, and Indian Mounds have been located along Forked Deer River.
