The hundred of Trigg (also known as Triggshire) was one of ten ancient administrative shires of Cornwall - see "Hundreds of Cornwall". It was in the north of Cornwall, and covered Wadebridge and Bodmin, along with Bodmin Moor. Its name may be cognate with that of Trégor in Brittany, northwest France.
The parishes of Triggshire consisted of Bodmin, Blisland, St Breward, Egloshayle, St Endellion, Helland, St Kew, St Mabyn, St Minver, St Teath, Temple, St Tudy.
The name Triggshire has been adopted by different clubs and organizations in the area. Triggshire Wind Orchestra, an amateur orchestra for wind players primarily from Sir James Smith's School, Wadebridge School, Budehaven School, however some students from Bodmin College and Launceston College also attend. The orchestra was set up in 1984. After the success of the wind orchestra, Triggshire String Orchestra was set up, to cater for the string players from these schools.
Triggshire Morris Men are a long running Morris Dancer club, which has been running for centuries.
