Published: January 3, 2005

Clark is located just west of Farm Road 156 about twelve miles southwest of Denton in southwestern Denton County. It was shown on highway maps by the late 1970s as the location of a private airport owned by the Clark family. By 2000 area residents had voted to incorporate a community named Clark. The area includes the airport and a town hall. The population was 345 in 2000.
