==History==
{{Main|History of Trumbull, Connecticut}}
The area comprising the town of Trumbull was occupied by the [[Golden Hill Paugussett Indian Nation|Paugusset]] Indian nation for thousands of years before English colonists arrived here during the [[Great Migration (Puritan)|Great Migration]] from England and established the town of [[Stratford, Connecticut]], in 1639.

In 1725, Stratford residents living in the northern part of the town petitioned the [[Colony of Connecticut]] to establish their own separate [[village]]. They wished to call their new village [[Nichols, Connecticut|Nickol's Farms]], after the family who lived in its center. However, the Colony named it ''Unity'' instead. The village of Unity merged with the village to its west called [[Long Hill, Trumbull, Connecticut|Long Hill]] (organized in 1740), to form the town of "North Stratford" in 1744.

In the late 1780s, North Stratford began to petition the [[Connecticut General Assembly]] seeking independence from Stratford. The Assembly finally granted full town rights in October 1797 and named the new town after [[Jonathan Trumbull]] (1710–1785), a merchant, [[Patriot (American Revolution)|patriot]], [[wikt:statesman|statesman]] and [[List of slave owners|slave owner]] when it was incorporated in 1797.<ref name="Connecticut Magazine Company"/> Aviation pioneer [[Igor Sikorsky]] lived in Trumbull during his active years when he designed, built, and flew [[fixed-wing aircraft]] and put the [[helicopter]] into mass production for the first time.
