Denison began as part of Calhoun County, organized by the First Territorial Legislature in 1855, known then as North Cedar, or Tippinville.
Then, in 1887, when the Kansas City, Wyandotte and Northwestern Railroad was built, but missed crossing into North Cedar by three quarters of a mile south, the Post Office, and other businesses, relocated to be near the railroad in the area now known as Denison.
