Reemelin was said to have disliked naming places after people and instead thought that "Dent" represented the geography of the area, with the depression of the land just east of Harrison Pike.  The Dent post office closed in 1904.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.postalhistory.com/postoffices.asp?state=OH |title=Post Offices |publisher=Jim Forte Postal History |access-date=19 September 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151013181747/http://www.postalhistory.com/postoffices.asp?state=OH |archive-date=13 October 2015 }}</ref> The present name "Dent" is after its setting in a valley (or dent).<ref>{{cite book|last=Lueders|first=Jeff|title=Hamilton County's Green Township|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xI4VcIljsbsC&pg=PT145|date=9 October 2006|publisher=Arcadia Publishing|isbn=978-1-4396-1701-4|page=145}}</ref>
