This was the site of the home of Trenton's founder, Michael Pearce, and his wife, Phebe Squier Pearce. The family migrated from New Jersey in 1801, purchased 1,500 acres, and settled here. Michael Pearce and David Enyeart platted the village as 33 lots in 1816 under the name Bloomfield, and the name was changed to Trenton in 1820 when application was made for a Post Office.
