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.
