==History== [[File:Abner Treman historic marker.jpg|thumb|upright=.6|left|Abner Treman historic marker]] The village was incorporated in 1872, in the former [[Central New York Military Tract]]. The village was originally named "Tremaine's Village", after an early settler, Abner Tremaine (Tremain, Treman), who was granted the land for his service in the [[American Revolutionary War]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lifeinthefingerlakes.com/trumansburg/ |title=Trumansburg |date=April 30, 2006 }}</ref> The village was built around a cascade on the creek that provided power for grain mills. {{citation needed|date=June 2014}} In the 19th century Trumansburg was dominated by Col. Hermon Camp, an officer in the [[War of 1812]] who settled in what was to become the village. For many years he was the local postmaster, and founded a bank, now the [[Tompkins Trust Company]], the largest bank in the county. His imposing and elegant Greek Revival style house remains the largest in the village. The [[Hermon Camp House]] was listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1973.<ref name="nris">{{NRISref|2009a}}</ref> Also listed on the National Register of Historic Places are the [[First Presbyterian Church of Ulysses]], [[William Austin House (Trumansburg, New York)|William Austin House]], [[Indian Fort Road Site]], and [[Second Baptist Society of Ulysses]].<ref name="nris"/> In the latter half of the 20th century, as the quality of the road between Trumansburg and Ithaca improved and "country living" became more fashionable, the village became home to many faculty and staff at nearby [[Cornell University]] and [[Ithaca College]], as well as many musicians.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://nymasons.org/site/cayuga-tompkins-counties/|title=Cayuga & Tompkins Counties|date=April 10, 2018}}</ref> Between 1961 and 1970, [[Robert Moog]] built electronic music equipment including [[Theremins]] and his famous [[synthesizers]] in a downtown storefront.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Pinch |first=Trevor |title=Analog days: the invention and impact of the Moog synthesizer |date=2004 |publisher=Harvard University Press |author2=Frank Trocco |isbn=978-0-674-04216-2 |edition=1st |location=Cambridge, MA |oclc=432671362}}</ref> From 2004 to 2007, the mayor was [[John R.
