Brief history

Trinity School was founded by William Huddleston in 1709 as the Charity School of Trinity Church and was originally open to both boys and girls. Classes were originally held in the steeple of Trinity Church in lower Manhattan, but, in 1749, Trinity moved into its own building across the street. Two months later that building burned down, but was rebuilt. Columbia University, then King's College, was founded in that building's first floor.^[1] Trinity traditionally educated its students for Columbia given their close ties, but today students matriculate at a wide range of colleges and universities. // Events January 12 - Two-month freezing period begins in France - The coast of the Atlantic and Seine River freeze, crops fail and at least 24. ...
