Once upon a time, most of the people of Cornwall were living in many scattered houses, manors and small-holdings. After a long time there were more homes together, especially for fishing, mining and markets. Small or large, there are more than 500 places that bear the same name "Tre" or "Trev" initially "farm". Often "Tre" was coupled with the name of a man, e.g.
TRAGO (Treiagu 1277) Treyago “Jacob’s farm”.
Now there's a big shop by the water and Jacob is a long time gone.
Sometimes "Tre" was coupled with the name of animals, e.g.
TREMOUGH (Tremogh 1366-1590) Tremogh “pigs’ farm”
Now it's a big university, without any pigs.
