In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Denovan like this:
Denovan, a village, a calico-printing establishment, and an estate in Dunipace parish, Stirlingshire. The village stands near Carron Water, ¾ mile ENE of Denny, and has charming environs. The calico-printing establishment is on the Carron, adjacent to the village; was commenced in the year 1800; and employs a large number of persons, many of whom reside in Denny. The estate comprises about one-fourth of the parish, and belongs to Forbes of Callendar.
