formerly named Clark after its founder, Landis Clark, who incorporated
it in 2000 and served as its first mayor. Clark was beaten by one vote
in the Spring 2005 election, and only six months later the town was officially
renamed DISH in exchange for every household receiving a free DVR and
free basic satellite service for ten years. At the council meeting when
the measure was passed, only 12 people reportedly showed up. [RoadsideAmerica.com
