1890: Clarks is a town of 1,000 inhabitants, on the U. P. Ry., in Merrick county, 12 miles northeast of Central City, the county seat. The surrounding country is particularly a hay producing section; specific farming is, however, a very remunerative occupation. The schools and churches are in a flourishing condition, the latter being the Methodist, Congregational, Episcopal and Catholic. Societies: A. O. U. W. (1890 U.P.R.R. Gazetteer)
