Trenton, Louisiana??

[marketdawg]

I guess the record books would state Trenton DBA West Monroe or West Monroe DBA Trenton? Depends on how the vote ends up.

Who gets credit for those 5 state championships? Trenton didn't exist back then and West Monroe no longer exist if they change the name.

west ouachita!

Here is a map I found dating back to the Civil War. If you zoom in, you will see a "Trent's Lan." I assume that this is Trent's Landing. It looks like it would in northern current West Monroe.

Rebels (plural)... not Rebel's (possessive)...

Instead of West Monroe High School Rebel's, they would be called Trenton High School Rebel's... That is, if the school board changes the school's name. They could keep it the way it is.

Trent's Landing would be a great name. They should go with that.

I know... It's hard to break writing it that way though because of an inside joke with a few friends that went there because of the RHS/WMHS rivalry.

That would imply there's a lake and port there. At least, that's what I think when "landing" is the name.

Not to split hairs but there is a "lake" -- the Ouachita River.
And, there is a new riverport on the West Monroe side of the river, which in the very near future will be the center of one of the top economic developments.

Hey, I don't have a dog in the hunt, I don't live in the city limits of West Monroe and neither do many of the concerned posters on this thread.

What I admire about the West Monroe/West Ouachita Chamber of Commerce is they are asking the city's voters to settle this long-time topic once and for all.

Wasn't there a Trent's Landing on one of the bayous running into Darbonne about 25-30 years ago?
