Welcome to Denmark ...

So far, we found very little information about Denmark. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Denmark to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. If you can help us with Denmark, please Contact Us.

Denmark would have been located within present day Vermilion County<2>.

While the community is gone, the present day location for Denmark is 570 feet [174 m] above sea level.<3>.

Time Zone: The area where Denmark was located is in the Central Time Zone (CST/CDT) and observes daylight saving time

Note: If you travel east from Denmark (for example, toward Covington (IN)), you will soon leave Central Time and cross into the Eastern Time Zone (EST/EDT).

Denmark would have been located in the (217) area code.
