In 1950 Clark and another 45 residents signed a petition seeking to become the 17th [[incorporated town]] in Linn County. The town would be named after Clark's trailer company. That same year he and Henry Katz of [[Marion, Iowa|Marion]] established the Linn County Fire Association to help provide fire protection to rural communities.
