City of Trenton

The City of Trenton is located on the Detroit River across from Grosse Ile Township. The City maintains a pleasant balance between industry and residential development.

Wide, shaded streets and fine homes dominate the older parts of the city while new, well-designed residences are found in the outlying sections.

Among the leading industries located here is the Chrysler Corporation. Most of the industrial development is along the river or Jefferson Avenue. There is also a certified industrial park, Trenton Commerce Park, located off of Fort Street.

The city's central business district is along Jefferson Avenue in the vicinity of West Road. Fort Road [M-85] is paralleled by trackage of Conrail and GTW Railroads.

Interstate 75 Freeway is less than 1-1/2 miles west of the city. A beautiful county-owned park, Elizabeth Park, is located toward the southern end of the community.
