History
Trinity was developed in the 1810s as area plantation owners built houses atop Trinity Mountain to escape the mosquito-infested lowlands. A post office operated at Trinity from 1848 to 1853. The post office reopened under the name "Trinity Station" in 1866. The town incorporated in 1901, and changed its name to simply "Trinity" two years later.
