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),[2] and was laid out in 1906.[3][4] It was named after Moneta, Iowa.[3] A post office was established in Moneta in 1906, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1972.[5]
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.[6] 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.[7]
