About Trenton

Located in the heart of Gibson County, Trenton offers a relaxed, small-town lifestyle with a population of around 4,200. Life here revolves around the historic downtown Court Square, anchored by a handsome 1901 courthouse and surrounded by quiet, tree-lined streets filled with classic historic homes. It provides a peaceful, close-knit setting while keeping regional amenities within easy reach, as U.S. Highway 45W offers a quick drive south to Jackson for major healthcare, shopping, and dining.

Trenton is best known for its unique claim to fame: the world's largest collection of antique porcelain night-light teapots housed inside City Hall, celebrated every spring during the weeklong Trenton Teapot Festival. Local pride runs deep, from community sports at Peabody High to the annual Gibson County Fair, one of the oldest county fairs in the South. Families appreciate the dedicated Trenton Special School District, while Jackson State Community College maintains a convenient local campus right in town. With its affordable living, friendly neighbors, and classic Southern charm, Trenton makes a welcoming place to put down roots.
