After the war of 1812 Major Truax decided to purchase a high tract of land along the Detroit river. He built a church, saw mill, and a general store. Appropriately, he named his tract of land Turax, after himself. As time passed the area went through a couple name changes and was finally settled upon Trenton. The river plays a very important role in the community. The fact that Trenton sits next to the great Detroit River is the reason why industrial business are so drawn to the city. With industry comes business and expendable income.
