Denton was named for two brothers named Dent, stockmen who owned the land on which the original townsite was located. “Dent” was considered too short a name for a town, so it was changed to Denton.
Denton is a farming community where modern methods have increased grain yields from an average of 20 to 25 bushels to 35 or 40 bushels per acre. Cattle and hogs are also important products. (from Cheney’s Names on the Face of Montana, Mountain Press Publishing Company) Found in the heartland of Judith Basin near Dry Wolf Creek, it is now one of the top dryland farm production and cattle production communities in the state.
Denton is the turnaround point for the Charlie Russell Chew Choo, which is central Montana's dinner train. The Charlie Russell Chew Choo is a unique, scenic train ride aboard 1950s vintage cars.
