Denton has plenty to celebrate this October, starting with a major milestone for one of its most beloved institutions: Texas Woman’s University is marking 125 years of blazing new trails, according to the Denton Record-Chronicle.

Founded more than a century ago, TWU has grown into a cornerstone of the Denton community, shaping generations of students and contributing to the city’s identity as a hub of education, culture, and innovation. The 125th anniversary is a moment for the entire community to reflect on the university’s remarkable legacy and look forward to the chapters still to come.

TWU’s presence has long made Denton a destination for students from across Texas and beyond, and its continued growth speaks to the enduring strength of higher education in the city. Whether through academic programs, community partnerships, or the vibrant student life that spills into Denton’s neighborhoods, TWU’s influence is woven into the fabric of everyday life here.

Adding to the good vibes around town, Denton is also welcoming a new business to its growing commercial scene. 7 Brew Coffee, the popular drive-thru coffee chain, is set to open a new location in Denton, according to WhatNow. Known for its energetic atmosphere and wide variety of beverages, 7 Brew has been expanding rapidly across Texas, and Denton residents will soon have a new spot to grab their morning cup.

Together, these two developments paint a picture of a city that honors its deep roots while continuing to grow and attract new energy. From a university celebrating 125 years of history to a fresh new drive-thru joining the local business community, Denton is having a great October.
