History
Col. Avery Mustain Buckner is credited for platting a town, in the early 1800s, along a short-lived flat bar railroad that ran between Franklin and Martinsville. First named Liberty, the name was changed to Trafalgar to commemorate the British victory over Napoleon in the battle of the same name. Soon Ezekiel W. Morgan came to town to open a store. Denied a site near the railroad, he bought land in a nearby village founded by George Bridges. The railroad was rebuilt as the Fairland and Martinsville branch of the Big Four. The post office (and town name) was moved to Morgan's store. By 1816, the “old” and “new” Trafalgars had grown together and were briefly incorporated as one. The current town of Trafalgar was reincorporated in 1946. By the 1990s, the town had grown 266%.
