History


Trotwood was originally called Higgins Station, and under the latter name was platted in 1854.[5]

The Village of Trotwood was incorporated in 1901 from portions of Madison Township (the township itself was established in 1809); in 1996 the village and township merged into a single political entity.[6] This merger resulted in the creation of a Trotwood neighborhood (Townview) that is completely surrounded by the City of Dayton. Several smaller sections are attached to Trotwood by only a roadway or a small strip of land. The merger also added a large rural area to this suburban community consisting of farms, golf courses, and large rural estates.

On May 27, 2019, Trotwood sustained significant damage from an EF-4 tornado that swept through Dayton area. The city suffered damage to 500 homes and 59 homes were destroyed.ref name="59Trotwood">Shively, Holly (May 29, 2019). "59 homes destroyed in Trotwood: 'We live in a trauma now'". Dayton Daily News.
