The village was originally named "Tremaine's Village," after an early settler, Abner Tremaine (Tremain, Treman or Truman), who was granted the land for his service in the American Revolutionary War. The village centers on a cascade on the creek in the center of the village that provided power for grain mills. Local lore has it that a mistake when building the post office, replacing the "e" in Treman with a "u", led to the name "Trumansburg".
