First recorded as Denby Dyke. Before the [[Industrial Revolution]] the village was sparsely-populated with a small textile industry at the crossroads of the [[Barnsley]] to Shepley Lane Head and the [[Wakefield]] to Denby Dale roads. Within 25 years, factories and mills had been built and had a railway station on the [[Penistone Line]]. Denby Dale provided the textile industry with raw materials, coal, and transportation. Silk for the [[Queen Mother]]'s wedding dress was made at Springfield Mill. With the economy flourishing, the population increased and the village grew.
