Southeast Denton's history is rooted in the formerly thriving community of Quakertown, which was destroyed in the 1920s and 1930s when residents were forced to relocate to this area. Many of these families became descendants of the Solomon Hill community and established new neighborhoods in the southeast, which are now also under threat from modern-day gentrification. The broader area has a much longer history of settlement, beginning in the 1840s as part of the Peters Colony. #dentontx #quakert
