In 1827, when this settlement was constructed, Governor Lewis Cass named it for
a local Pottawattomi chief. Then in 1834, Abram Caleb Truax, the colony's first
supervisor, laid out the village of Truaxton. On January 2, 1828, the colony was
given a post office as Monguago, with Mr. Truax as its first postmaster.
A few years later (February 3, 1837) the colony's' name was changed to Truago.
10 years later the name was changed again, this time to Trenton. This name came from
the strata of limestone underlying the town. In 1850, the settlement was platted
and recorded as Trenton by George B. Truax and Sophia Slocum. Five years later in
1855 the settlement was incorporated as a village. In 1929, Trenton village annexed
the village of Sibley. In 1957, the village of Trenton was incorporated as a city.
