Town of Clarkdale
With a population of around 4,000 people, Clarkdale sits on the banks of the Verde River providing fishing, kayaking, hiking, biking, and lots of wildlife. It is home to many 3rd and 4th generation residents.

The Yavapai-Apache Nation is highly revered and a federally recognized sovereign Indian Nation, comprised of descendents of the Wipukyipai (Yavapai) and Dil zhee' (Tonto Apache) people. The Nation's people reside in the Verde Valley, many in Clarkdale. Clarkdale-Jerome School is proud to have the Clarkdale Yavapai-Apache among our students.
