History
Thomas Dennis Waddill built a depot in 1889 about halfway between Walkertown and Walnut Cove on the Roanoke & Southern Railroad. Waddill, who owned 1700 acres in the area, also built a mansion nearby which was demolished in the 1990s. Waddill became known as The Earl of Dennis. The depot burned in the 1930s. A post office and store were once located in the community.{{cite news|url=https://www.journalnow.com/news/local/northwest-almanac-dennis-community-named-for-resident-who-built-railroad/article_3f3d5267-949e-5955-9bd6-aa830099fa1a.html|title=Northwest Almanac: Dennis community named for resident who built railroad station, mansion in northeast Forsyth County|work=Winston-Salem Journal|date=2018-08-13|accessdate=2018-08-13}}
