Trentwood was once a small community in Spokane County, Washington, in the United States. It was located east of a place called Irwin, across the Spokane River. In the year 2000, about 4,388 people lived there.
Trentwood used to be known as a "census-designated place" (CDP). This means it was an area that the government counted for population, but it wasn't officially a city or town. In 2003, Trentwood joined with other nearby communities to form the city of Spokane Valley.
Trentwood's Story
Trentwood was first called East Trent. This was because it was located across the Spokane River from a place named Trent (which later became Irwin). East Trent wasn't one big town. Instead, it was a group of smaller communities.
One part was a train station called Steno. It was named after a local court reporter. Another area was Trentwood Orchards, known for its lumber and fruit trees. In 1917, the name Trentwood was chosen for the whole area. This happened after the court reporter passed away and many of the fruit trees were gone.
