Denton

Davidson County, North Carolina

Denton was known as Finch's Cross Roads until a post office named Denton, after a Texas town, opened on July 12, 1878. The railroad reached it in 1906, and the General Assembly incorporated the Town of Denton on March 11, 1907. Around 1917-1918 it was called the "Cross Tie Capital of the Country." [townofdenton.com]
