Trotwood was originally known as Higgins Station; it was named after its founder Amos Higgins. Today, this suburban city has a population of about 24,400 residents. Trotwood is known as the childhood home of John Dorian, a national television star from the show Scrubs. The city is located in Montgomery County. The city is next to Dayton, Englewood and Clayton. Trotwood was first laid out in 1854 under its old name. It was incorporated as the village of Trotwood in 1901 from portions of Madison Township. In 1996, the village and township merged into a single municipality. This merger brought about the formation of a Trotwood neighborhood named Townview. This neighborhood was completely surrounded by Dayton. Numerous smaller sections are attached to Trotwood by a roadway or a small strip of land. The merger also added a large rural land area to this suburban community of mostly golf courses, farms, and large rural estate properties. On May 27, 2019, Trotwood sustained serious damage after an F-4 tornado tore through the entire Greater Dayton area. The tornado damaged five hundred houses while another 59 homes were completely destroyed. This “Memorial Day Tornado” struck at 11 p.m., shortly after the National Weather Service announced the tornado warning at 10:30 p.m.
