Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DEM-DIO
DENISON , a city of Grayson county,
Texas
 , U.S.A., about 22 M. from the S. bank of the Red river, about 70 M. N. of Dallas. Pop. (189o) 10,958; (1900) 11,807, of whom 2251 were negroes; (1910
census
 ) 13,632. It is served by the
Houston
  &
Texas
  Central, the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, the Texas & Pacific, and the St Louis & San Francisco ('Frisco
System
 ) railways, and is connected with Sherman, Texas, by an electric line. Denison is the seat of the Gate City business college (generally known as Harshaw
Academy
 ), and of St Xavier's
academy
  (Roman Catholic). It is chiefly important as a railway centre, as a collecting and distributing point for the fruit, vegetables, hogs and poultry, and general farming products of the surrounding region, and as a wholesale and jobbing market for the upper Red river valley. It has railway repair shops, and among its manufactures are
cotton
 -seed oil,
cotton
 , machinery and foundry products, flour, wooden-
ware
 , and dairy products. In 1905 its factory products were valued at $1,234,956, 47o % more than in 1900. Denison was settled by Northerners at the time of the construction of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway to this point in 1872, and was named in honour of George Denison (1822-1876), a director of the railway; it became a city in 1891, and in 1907 adopted the commission form of government.
