Dennison is a village in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, United States.

At the time, locomotives needed water every 100 miles (160 km), so Dennison was a natural refilling location.

In 1864, The Pittsburgh, Cincinnati & St. Louis Railway decided to locate the country's largest railroad shops and yards in Dennison.

Thousands moved to the area for jobs in the roundhouses, turntables and foundries.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company eventually subsumed the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati & St. Louis Railway.
