Moneta is an unincorporated community in Fremont County, Wyoming, United States. Moneta is located on U.S. Route 26, 20.1miles east-southeast of Shoshoni. It is also located close to the geographic center of the state.
As the Chicago and North Western Transportation Company built a line west from Casper in 1905-06, Moneta was made a stop (about 82.6 miles west of Casper),[1] and was laid out in 1906.[2] [3] It was named after Moneta, Iowa. A post office was established in Moneta in 1906, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1972.[4]
In 2002, the vehicle in the "Lil' Miss murder" was uncovered in Moneta after DNA evidence linked the landowner, Dale Wayne Eaton, to the murder of Lisa Kimmell.[5] Following a civil suit in which Eaton's land was given to Kimmell's parents, the buildings on the property were burned to the ground.[6]
