Trogen is a municipality in the canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden in Switzerland. The town is the seat of the canton's judicial authorities. The first mentioning of Trogen was in 1168 (Trugin). The name Trogen refers to a number of fountains (Trögen) which is reflected in the coat of arms. After the Appenzell Wars, the Rhode Trogen was created in 1429 which included the territories of the municipalities Oberegg as well as parts of Bühler and Gais. Trogen joined the Reformation in 1525. When Appenzell split into the half-cantons Appenzell Innerrhoden and Appenzell Ausserrhoden in 1597, it became the administrative center of Appenzell Ausserrhoden. From then on, Trogen's territory progressively shrunk as different municipalities within built their own churches within the Rhode and thus became independent. Until 1658, the municipalities of Grub, Walzenhausen, Heiden, Wolfhalden and Lutzenberg had emerged from Trogen. More information...
