Trinway is a small community in Ohio, United States. It is known as an unincorporated community, which means it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. It's also a census-designated place, which is a special area defined by the U.S. Census Bureau for collecting population data. Trinway is located in Muskingum County, in the east-central part of the state. It's about 52 miles east of Columbus, the state capital, and very close to the town of Dresden.

History of Trinway

The community of Trinway was originally called "Dresden Junction." This name was chosen because it was a very important meeting point for two different railroads. The Cincinnati and Muskingum Valley Railroad met the Stuebenville and Indiana Railroad here. This second railroad later became part of the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad. Dresden Junction was also the first place where people from the nearby village of Dresden could catch a train.
