Archaeological evidence suggests that people lived in the area now occupied by Trogir as far back as the Stone Age. Still, the town can trace its origins back to a Greek colony established in the third century BC under the name "Tragurion". The town eventually became part of the Roman Empire as it expanded through Dalmatia.
