Interest
in
establishing
a
historical
society
arose
during
planning
of
the
125th
anniversary
of
the
founding
of
Denton
--
celebrated
July
27-28,
1996.
Over
the
next
several
months
discussions
continued
and
on
Tuesday,
January
14,
1997
an
organizational
meeting
was
held
and
the
Denton
Community
Historical
Society
was
formed.
We
invite
everyone
with
an
interest
and
knowledge
of
Denton
and
the
surrounding
community
to
participate
in
preserving
the
history
and
heritage
of
our
community
for
posterity
--
that
many
can
come
'home
to
the
memories'
to
revisit
and
relive
some
of
the
past
and
to
visit
the
continuing
growth
of
Denton,
Nebraska.
This
site
includes
historical
information
of
interest
to
the
residents
of
Denton
and
to
the
many
descendants
of
its
early
inhabitants
who
are
researching
their
family
history.
If
you
have
school
or
church
records,
newspaper
articles,
photographs,
a
family
history
or
two
or
almost
anything
related
to
Denton
