History

Trimont was once two separate villages, platted by competing railroads. The two towns were Triumph to the east, and Monterey to the west. In a 1959 referendum, the two towns voted to merge, using the first letters from each town's name to form, originally, Tri-Mont, and later simplified to Trimont. As a result of the merger, Trimont has the unique characteristic of two separate Main Street business districts which are on the same street, yet located approximately a half-mile apart.

Education

In 1988, Trimont Schools consolidated with neighboring Sherburn and Welcome to form the Martin County West (MCW) School District. The Trimont school building is now the MCW Trimont Elementary. (Grades kindergarten, 3rd - 6th grades.)
