The original land claims of John Noblet and Alexander Hogue make up the older part of Denham Springs, including its first residential and business districts. In 1828 William Denham, a native of Wilkinson County, Mississippi, married Hogue's daughter Mercy and three months later bought the 640 acres her father had claimed, paying $1,350 for the land and an enslaved person. A popular belief holds that Denham discovered the area's mineral springs and that a health resort quickly grew there, but given the many springs in the area and the time before Denham arrived, Hogue and other early residents likely already relied on them for drinking water.
By the 1850s the place was known as Amite Springs. On May 1, 1855, Denham sold the tract to Stamaty Covas of New Orleans for $3,050 and later moved to Baton Rouge and Texas, and during Covas's ownership, before the Civil War, a health resort flourished there, described in surviving newspaper articles and advertisements. A Baton Rouge newspaper noted on June 25, 1856, that a bridge of boats had been built at Benton's Ferry over the Amite River for travelers to the springs, and a post office named Benton's Ferry, for the ferry operator Robert Benton, opened on January 25, 1856. The hotel is assumed to have burned during the war, though no evidence has been found, and afterward George L. Minton bought the land for $124 in back taxes.
