The area that now comprises the Village of Denmark was originally part of the Township of De Pere. The Town of De Pere was created by the Wisconsin Territorial Legislature in March 1839.  In the early territorial years, townships and counties were far larger than they are today since so few people lived in the area. The original Town of De Pere comprised the present-day towns of Glenmore, Rockland, Bellevue, Allouez, Ashwaubenon, Lawrence, and Wrightstown.
