History


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


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.[4] 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.[5]
