If McKinney and Plano are sister cities, then Denton must be the big brother in this part the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex area. It's the county seat of Denton county and home to two of the state universities: UNT and Texas Woman's University. With over 45,000 students in residence, Denton can truly be considered a college town to some.
Both County and Denton city are named after a captain in the militia, John B. Denton. Largely because of the colleges, Denton is known for it's culteral activies, music, and the North Texas State Fair and Rodeo make their home here. In 2006, Money magazine awarded the city 58th place on the "Top 100 Best Places to Live in America". Land grants began the Denton area and the railroad didn't affect it as much as some of the smaller towns nearby. Instead, when it incorporated in 1866 it remained more of a farming town. The first college came along in 1890 and it changed the role Denton would play for its residents. Denton also has the distinction of being a government underground shelter for the president during time of war.
Denton is the 27th largest city in Texas with an average family income of $51.5k. The main employers are the city itself and the universities, along with a couple of large companies such as Peterbilt and Sally Beauty Company. Notable entertainment for the residents include the State Fair and Rodeo, an annual Arts and Jazz Festival, and at Christmas the downtown is ablaze with the Denton Holiday Lighting Festival, complete with music. If you like living in a culteral center, Denton Texas is your kind of city.
