A little background on Trinity (FL)
Even if you’re a resident in Trinity, understanding a little about its origins could be part of the experience of belonging to this community. Time to learn!
Trinity is considered a part of the New Port Richey area. The city is known for its family-friendly atmosphere (which makes even more sense after you learn about its foundation), well-planned neighborhoods, and abundance of amenities. The community features a mix of residential developments, schools, parks, and commercial areas, making it a popular choice for families and professionals alike.
Its quite recent history goes back to 1980, when an eye surgeon named James Gills bought many acres from an area that was then managed by another important group – the Starkey family.
Inspired by the Holy Trinity, Dr. Gills chose the name “Trinity” to represent his vision for a community built on the pillars of family, faith, and education, resulting in the core values of this budding neighborhood.
