Denbigh (Dinbych in Welsh) actually means 'little fortress', and Denbigh Castle was part of King Edward I's ring of castles in North Wales (others include Rhuddlan Caste, Beaumaris Castle and Flint Castle). This medieval town, with looming castle built to intimidate the locals up high on a hilltop, has a long history.

Denbigh got it's borough charter in 1290 - it was contained in it's walls at that time. Later however it was burnt to the ground during the War of the Roses and relocated around today's Denbigh marketplace.
