The railroad reached this location in 1881, and a station was built, but the area had no name.  As three nearby houses were occupied by the brothers John, Jim, and Jorge Trout, the area was called Troutsville. It became an important shipping center in the 1890s. In 1895, Troutsville was a thriving town with an active shipping point, farming, canneries, packing houses and factories. The name of the town was later changed to Troutville. The town was chartered on June 4, 1956.
