A Brief History of Denmark, South Carolina

Captain Z. G. Graham sold 17 acres of land to the railroad for a turnout and station, and on December 25, 1830, the Charleston-Hamburg railroad made its first run through the area. The town of Graham's Turn Out was established in 1837 (recorded as simply "Grahams" by the state legislature). The first mayor was C. C. Cooper.

"The railroad is at the center of the history of the town of Denmark. Originally established in 1837 as Graham's Turnout, the town became incorporated as Grahams in 1870. In 1890-91, with the crossing of two major railroad lines, the settlement shifted to this intersection. In 1891 the town was renamed for Capt. Isadore Denmark of Savannah, an official of the Seaboard who had shown some special interest in the development of the area. With the completion of a stretch of the Manchester and Augusta Railroad near the town, it became a railroad junction of some importance."
