Dentville, Mississippi

Dentville, also known as Pine Bluff, is an unincorporated community in Copiah County, Mississippi, United States.

History

The community was originally known as Pine Bluff, a descriptive name for a bluff over Bayou Pierre. A post office already existed with the name Pine Bluff in Mississippi, so the community was named Dentville in honor of Warren Dent, a storeowner and the community's first postmaster.

A post office operated under the name Dentville from 1887 to 1906.
