Dent was first called Challensville in the 1800s. It was named after a local minister, Rev. James Challenge. A post office opened in Challensville in 1843.

He thought "Dent" described the land well. The area had a dip or "dent" in the land. The Dent post office closed in 1904.
In the 1990s, Veterans Park was built. It is on the old site of the Dent Drive-In movie theater. The park is about 25 acres large. It has a nice walking trail for everyone to enjoy.
