"The City of Trenton, which is the county seat of Gibson County, was incorporated on December14, 1847. The present courthouse was completed in 1901 and was listed on the National Register in 1976. Trenton is the location of the world’s largest collection of Porcelain Veilleuse-Theiere (night – light teapots). This unusual collection was assembled by Doctor Frederick C. Freed, a native of Trenton. The collection is housed in the Trenton City Hall and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The teapots provide a theme around which Trenton organizes its week long Trenton Teapot Festival, which is held annually beginning the last weekend of April and lasts through the first week in May. Trenton is blessed with a tremendous school district that excels in academics, sports, and extra-curricular activities and provides our children with a safe place to learn. All schools are accredited by the Southern Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. Economically Trenton is a blend of agriculture and industry. Trenton features three industrial sites encompassing over 133 acres for existing and prospective industry. The citizens of Trenton believe they have the best of all worlds. It is a community where families can grow, prosper, and worship together while taking pride in the community’s education, recreation, and industry." ~ Trenton, TN
Trenton, NJ:
"Trenton is the capital city of the U.S. state of New Jersey and the seat of Mercer County. It was the capital of the United States from November 1 to December 24, 1784. Trenton and Princeton are the two principal cities of the Trenton–Princeton metropolitan statistical area, which encompasses those cities and all of Mercer County for statistical purposes and constitutes part of the New York combined statistical area by the U.S. Census Bureau. However, Trenton directly borders the Philadelphia metropolitan area to its west, and the city was part of the Philadelphia metropolitan area combined statistical area from 1990 until 2000.
"As of the 2020 United States census, Trenton was the state's 10th-most-populous municipality, with a population of 90,871, an increase of 5,958 (+7.0%) from the 2010 census count of 84,913, which in turn reflected a decline of 490 (-0.6%) from the 85,403 counted in the 2000 census. The Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program calculated that the city's population was 90,457 in 2021, ranking the city the 378th-most-populous in the country." ~ Wikipedia
