About Trenton
The town
Trenton is a small industrial town beside New Glasgow, with 2,407 people in 2021 on about 6 km² of land. It is one of Pictou County's five towns, governed apart from the rural municipality. First settled by Scots as Smelt Brook, it was incorporated in 1911. The first steel poured in British North America came out of a Trenton works in 1883, and from 1913 the local car plant built railway cars for buyers in many countries. Nova Scotia Power's coal-fired Trenton Generating Station (307 MW) is in town. Services include a public library, a heritage museum, a fire service, RCMP policing and a town water utility. Inside town limits, town staff issue development, subdivision and building permits under the Pictou County Common Land Use By-law. The nearest full hospital is Aberdeen Hospital in New Glasgow, with a 24-hour emergency department.
Around it
Trenton Park covers 565 acres of conifer forest, with about 6 km of walking trails and a 6.5 km mountain bike trail (snowshoeing and skiing in winter), three man-made trout ponds and a summer pool with a splash pad. The countryside beyond town limits belongs to the Municipality of Pictou County, which issues development and subdivision permits for rural land and has general development zoning everywhere, with only its wind energy bylaw adding rules. Halifax Stanfield International Airport is within about 90 minutes of New Glasgow by divided highway, and the Caribou ferry terminal for Prince Edward Island about 30 minutes.
