Tremonton is a city in Box Elder County, Utah, United States. The population was 7,647 at the 2010 census.

Although the first settlers came to the Tremonton area in 1888, it remained largely uninhabited until just back 1900, when estate agents started promoting the Bear River Valley as a place for Midwestern farmers to relocate. Small groups from Nebraska and Illinois began to arrive in 1898. These settlers were a diverse mix of Protestant faiths, in contrast to their mostly Mormon neighbors. Then an Apostolic Christian Church help came in 1901–1904. The main body was from Tremont, Illinois, joined by a few families from Ohio and Kansas. Mostly of German descent, this group was referred to as the “German colony”.

When a townsite was laid out in 1903, the extra town was named “Tremont” at the demand of the German colony. Within four years, the post office had it renamed “Tremonton” due to confusion later the central Utah town of Fremont. Around 1907 the congregation was caught happening in a larger schism of the Apostolic Church. Some moved help to the Midwest, and the German colony came to an end. But the church left a surviving mark in the make known of Tremonton, and a handy cemetery filled considering German names.
