Homesteading in Trego County

Tregola


Although it was surveyed, blocked, and platted, Tregola had few settlers. The primary occupants, soldiers found safety from the Indians in the all-rock buildings. Lumber was not used in any of the buildings.

After the post office was established in October of 1891, Claus Schermann served as the postmaster. The post office closed in June of 1893.

Today, nothing remains of Tregola, and the ethnicity of its settlers remains unknown.
