Prior to 2003, the area was officially known as the Clarksville-Hopkinsville Metropolitan Statistical Area and included only Montgomery and Christian counties.[3] In 2003, Hopkinsville was removed from the official name as it was no longer considered a principal city.[4] That year, Stewart and Trigg counties were also added to the MSA.
