COMMENTS: Bulldozed in the late 1970's. REMAINS: Well I was there in Sept. of 1998 and there is plenty there. The spots where the homes were are still there with the retaining walls, and the old smelter is still standing. There is not as much as I had expected but it is still interesting. There is what appears to be a dam, made from the tailings of the smelter - D. Bittner .

DeNoon's post office was established March 19, 1890 and discontinued April 1, 1891. DeNoon was the milling town for nearby Reymert. James DeNoon Reymert was responsible for starting and of course naming the town. Only two miles from Reymert, DeNoon was a short haul for the ore. The town of 150 did not survive very long and nothing is left today.
