In 1872, the Houston and Texas Central Railway developed a railroad switch south of Dallas, along its 1872 rail line extension from Houston to Dallas. Known simply as "Switch", the area would later be called by a variety of names: "Ghost Hill", then "Mackie", then "Clemma", before becoming "Trumbull" in 1904.[1] A post office was established in 1896, but was discontinued in 1967.[2]
Trumbull is serviced by the Ferris Independent School District.
