The Blackland Prairie defines the setting of Trumbull — its dark, fertile soils and open farmland shape this small unincorporated community in northeastern Ellis County. The settlement lies south of Dallas, close to Ferris, in the broad North Texas plain rather than the high-country landscapes often associated with the state. Ellis County, organized in 1849, takes its name from Richard Ellis, president of the 1836 convention that declared Texas independent from Mexico. Today, Trumbull forms part of the rural-to-metropolitan fringe where agricultural land meets the Dallas–Fort Worth region.
