The station is located at the intersection of Interstate 35E and the President George Bush Turnpike. It is named for Trinity Mills Road, a frontage road for PGBT, which in turn is named after a mid-19th century settlement that was later annexed by Carrollton.

History
A Green Line train and A-Train meet for the first time.

Trinity Mills station opened on December 6, 2010 as part of the Green Line's second phase. The station replaced North Carrollton Transit Center, a bus-only facility on Trinity Mills Road, which has since been demolished.

A-Train service began June 20, 2011.[3]

In 2020, Carrollton announced the creation of Trinity Mills Station, a transit-oriented development zone in a 25-acre site adjacent to the DART station.[4]
