History of Schuylkill County, Pa: W. W. Munsell, 1881
Tremont, lying in the west end of Schuylkill county, was formed in 1847, from Pine Grove township. It derives its name from the French words tres ‎(three)‎ and mont ‎(mountain)‎. It is bounded on the west by Dauphin county, and is about twelve miles long and 3 1/2 miles in breadth. The surface is broken into mountain spurs and ravines, making it one of the most romantic sections in the county. There is very little arable land, the late census enumerator reporting only one farm. The mountains are covered with pine timber and laurel bushes. Some of the best veins of anthracite coal in the region are found in Tremont; the coal mined within its borders commands an extra price, being superior for domestic purposes. From the number of arrow-heads found in this vicinity it is concluded that it formed a favorite Indian hunting ground. Settlement began in 1816 or 1817 by Henry Zimmerman. The Hipples, Pinckertons, Clarks and Mellons were among the first settlers. Mr. Mellon was the first hotel keeper. There is not now a licensed hotel or saloon in the township, and no liquor is sold. Dr. Speck was the first physician. The first minister of the gospel who resided here was Rev. T.A. Fernsby. He built the Methodist Episcopal church in 1847. The first resident attorney was C.D. Hipple, under whom Colonel Pinckerton studied. Among the early justices were Esquires Wolff and Bechtel.
