About Denison

Denison is a Grayson County city near the Red River, founded in 1872 around the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad depot. That rail origin is central to the city's identity, and Denison later became known as the birthplace of Dwight D. Eisenhower. Grayson College serves the area, and the long-running Battle of the Ax football rivalry with Sherman High School gives the city a strong local sports tradition. Denison feels like a North Texas rail town with regional pride and a direct connection to Lake Texoma country.
