Where is Denton on Map

If you were to imagine the United States as a giant game of 'Pin the Tail on the Donkey', your lucky dart would land squarely in the heart of Texas to hit Denton. A gem of a city ensconced in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Denton's on the map and waiting for you to discover it. It's perched at the northern end of the Golden Triangle, an area famed for its higher education institutions and vibrant music scene. Bingo, you've found it!

How big is Denton

What Denton might lack in big-city sprawl, it packs in charm and character, sprawling across a solid 98.34 square miles. Though it may not be the size of its bulky neighbours, Dallas or Fort Worth, it's as Texan as it gets, with plenty of room for their distinctive culture to roam freely. It's like your grandmother's home-baked peach pie, it doesn't need to be enormous to be thoroughly satisfying.

How many people live in Denton

Now, let's talk population. It's like trying to count the stars at the wonderful North Lakes Park. A bit tricky, but as of recent numbers, the city is home to approximately 141,541 people. This heartwarming, heaped helping of humanity means Denton's teeming with a blend of bohemian artists, talented musicians, ambitious students, and spirited locals all under the Texan sun. So, in Denton, instead of seeing stars, you could be rubbing shoulders with them - quite literally!

Hey, I’m Evan! Even though I’ve been bitten by a piranha, left stranded in the Sahara when my camel ditched me, and even spent a night in a Bhutanese jail over a supposedly stolen fruit (I swear I didn’t take it!), I still love traveling so much I don’t think I’ll ever stop. With over 130 countries under my belt, I’m always on the lookout for the next wild adventure… hopefully with fewer bites, camel betrayals, and misunderstandings over fruit!
