History
Trigo was formerly called Patterson. A post office operated at Trigo from 1912 to 1942.[2] Trigo was subdivided around 1911 and settled by deeply religious farmers from Iowa and Colorado, who quickly scattered. A store, church, school, Santa Fe freight station, and warehouses once stood in the town. By 1979, Trigo consisted of "15 houses and 12 mobile homes".[3] A few residences remain as of 2023.
