History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

The village was founded in 1803 and incorporated in 1890. Residents voted 91–7 to dissolve to village on July 21, 2015. This was primarily due to a lengthy dispute regarding worker's compensation claims from two firefighters. The village officially dissolved on December 31, 2015. It should be classified as a census-designated place by the U.S. Census Bureau within the next couple years. All government activities previously managed by the village are now handled by the Town of Trenton.

The volunteer fire department disbanded in 2014, also due to the said dispute. The volunteer ambulance still remains in service.
