Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on March 23, 1936.
Denton Borough was a combination of Denton and Haughton and the arms are based on the arms of the Denton and Haugton families. The red bars and the cinquefoils are taken from the Denton family, the silver bars in black from the Haughton family. The crest shows a beaver, which is a symbol for the former hat and fur industry.
