About Denison

Denison is a city in Jackson County, Kansas, United States. The 2020 census counted 146 residents. Denison was founded as a result of the Kansas City, Wyandotte and Northwestern Railway laying tracks that would connect the communities of Valley Falls and Holton. Walker and Hollis Tucker, land speculators, laid out lots for a new town, which was named after Tucker's hometown of Denison, Ohio. Denison's local map joins its older history to the places and landscapes that still shape the town today, all within the wider Kansas setting. The local scoop is how Denison's history still shows up in the places people visit, work, learn, and meet.
