    Welcome to Trenton

    First settled by Scottish immigrants as early as 1773, Trenton was first known as Smelt Brook to its earliest
    inhabitants. A town widely recognized for its manufacturing industries, including glass houses, a rail car works,
    and windmill factory, have all called Trenton home. Trenton’s manufacturing roots began in 1789, as Captain
    George Lowden commenced shipbuilding in the Narrows (the present site of Nova Scotia Power
    Trenton Generating Station).
