Denning is an isolated town in Ulster County, New York, United States. The population was 551 at the 2010 census. The town is named after an early landowner, William Denning. Denning is located in the western part of the county, deep inside the Catskill Mountains. The location of the town in the Catskill State Park accounts in part for its low population. [edit] History
Denning was established in 1849 from part of the Town of Shandaken. The region had been part of the Hardenburgh Patent granted to Johannes Hardenburgh in 1708. William H. Denning, for whom the settlement was named, bought a tract of land at a tax sale. The Red Hill Fire Observation Station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.
