A Look Back: Denmark's History
Denmark has a bit of history, even though it's a small community.
- A post office served the area under the name Denmark for many years. It opened in 1872 and closed in 1968.
- In 1900, Denmark had a population of 75 people. This shows it has always been a quiet, close-knit community.
