The community name derives from Spanish for "trinity," although how the community came by this name is a matter of dispute. One tradition says the settlement was named for Trinidad Baca, daughter of an early resident.

∙ 13y agoTrinidad was the first inhabited island of the Caribbean, settled by Amerindians from South Americaas early as 5000 BC. They called it "Ieri", the land of the hummingbird. When Christopher Columbus "discovered" the island in 1498 - naming it Trinidad after the three peaks of the Trinity Hills - there was a population of 35,000, who had trade links to South America.
Tobago was occupied by Caribs. Columbus called the island Bella Forma when he sighted it. Today, its present name is a corruption of tobacco, a crop which the native Caribs grew.
