The first settlers arrived in the Tremonton area in 1888, but it remained largely uninhabited until just before 1900, when land agents began promoting the Bear River Valley to Midwestern farmers.

A townsite laid out in 1903 was named Tremont at the request of a German colony, after Tremont, Illinois, where many of the early settlers had come from.

Within four years the post office had the town renamed Tremonton because of confusion with Fremont, Utah.

Tremonton was incorporated on January 6, 1906, became a city on May 6, 1918, and was founded by John Petty.

The city covers about 7.8 square miles, all land, at an elevation of about 4,325 feet.

French-Canadian trappers had entered the Tremonton area much earlier than the 1888 settlers.

The first recorded history of Tremonton's water system dates to 1910, when the Tremonton Town Board was already operating a municipal system.

As of 2024 Tremonton was one of the fastest-growing municipalities in Utah, with an estimated population of 13,713 and an estimated annual growth rate of 7.33 percent.
