Denton County has had four courthouses: 1851, 1858, 1877 and 1896

The current Denton County Courthouse was built in 1896 and is probably the most photographed courthouse in the state - after the Ellis County courthouse in Waxahachie.

The architect was the renowned courthouse architect W.C. Dodson. The courthouse was restored in 1987.
