Trenton, MI Real Estate

Trenton is a city in Wayne County in the southeast portion of the U.S. state of Michigan. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 19,584. The city is part of Downriver, a collection of mostly blue-collar communities south of Detroit on western bank of the Detroit River, thus "down-the-river."

Many residents are employed in the city's factories such as the DaimlerChrysler Trenton Engine Plant [1], Solutia and the Detroit Edison Trenton Channel Power Plant. Oakwood South Shore Hospital (also known as Seaway Hospital) is located within city limits and has 203 beds. The city operates the 21,000-square-foot Trenton Veterans Memorial Library, constructed in 1997 for $4 million, and a historical museum. Trenton has 15 churches of 10 denominations.

The Battle of Monguagon also took place in Trenton on the site of Elizabeth Park, which is part of the Wayne County Park System and is the first county park in Michigan, designated in 1919.

The "founder" of Trenton is considered to be Abram Caleb Truax, a member of the territorial militia in attendance when General William Hull surrendered Detroit to the British General Isaac Brock early in the War of 1812. After the war in 1816, Truax acquired a large tract of land in the Michigan Territory along the Detroit River from the U.S. government and constructed a sawmill, church and store in what is today downtown Trenton. When Territorial Governor Lewis Cass organized Monguagon Township in 1827, Truax became the first Township Supervisor. He laid out the village of Truaxton in 1834. A post office had been established there named "Monguago" in 1828 with Truax as the first postmaster. The post office name was changed to "Truago" in 1837, and to "Trenton" in 1847, after a type of limestone mined from a local quarry. The village was platted and recorded under the named Trenton in 1850 by Abram's son and daughter George Brigham Truax and Sophia Slocum, the wife of industrialist Giles Slocum. [2] [3] [4] The Slocum family estate was given to the county, becoming what is known as Elizabeth Park, named after Elizabeth Slocum.
