Denmark

Denmark is nestled in Owen County, a mile off of State Road 246. It is located at Denmark Road and Kelly Road.

No plat of the town was ever recorded. A post office was established on September 16, 1874, and it closed on September 30, 1905. William Herstine was the first postmaster. He also operated a store that served as the center of the settlement's activity. Denmark is believed to have been named for the country.
