Denton remains Caroline County’s government center
Sitting along the Choptank River, the small town of Denton offers suburban life with direct access to the county’s largest shopping hub. Serving as the county seat for Caroline County, the town has a storied history dating back to Colonial America. It began as a small settlement in 1781, before becoming a trade center in the early 1800s because the Choptank River flows into Chesapeake Bay. Agricultural supplies were imported for the area’s many farms, an industry that still predominantly supports the region financially. Recently, the town has seen industrial growth with excavating and manufacturing companies setting up shop here. Denton today still serves as the government center for Caroline County, while also providing a balance between small-town living and modern conveniences.
Colonial-era Denton grew from a small 1781 settlement to a thriving trade hub along the Choptank River.
