Dayton is located at U.S. Highway 90 three miles west of Liberty in southwestern Liberty County. The town was first called West Liberty and was considered part of the original town of Liberty, divided by the Trinity River. Both parts of the town were located on the four-league Mexican land grant appropriated for the capital of the old municipality of Sant'sima Trinidad de la Libertad, which later became known as Liberty.
