West Denton, MD

West Denton is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Caroline County, Maryland, United States. The 2010 census counted 52 residents. West Denton is located on the west bank of the Choptank River, across from Denton, the Caroline County seat. Maryland Route 404 Business crosses the Choptank and the oldest portion of the community on a bridge constructed in 1979. That mix gives West Denton a clear local shape within Maryland, with older layers still visible in current places. The local scoop is a place whose streets, landmarks, and institutions keep its earlier story close to the present. Maryland Route 328 forms the western edge of the CDP, and the Maryland Route 404 bypass forms the northern edge, crossing the Choptank on the Governor Harry R.
