DISH, Texas DISH is a town located in Denton County, Texas. The town has a population of approximately 345. Formerly called Clark, the town was officially renamed DISH (all capital letters) on November 16, 2005. The municipality was previously named after its founder, Landis Clark, who incorporated it in June 2000 and served as its first mayor. Clark was beaten by one vote in the Spring 2005 election by Bill Merritt. In exchange for renaming the town, all residents of the town have received free basic television service for ten years and a free DVR from DISH Network. There was no formal opposition to renaming Clark; twelve citizens attended the council meeting to support the measure. In the 2006-01-10 episode of Comedy Central's The Daily Show, correspondent Ed Helms did a story about DISH, Texas.
