[3] Collinston is mentioned as the approximate location where Captain John C. Frémont crossed the Bear River in 1843.
It was named for Ben Hampton, who, with William Godbe, operated a toll ferry across the Bear River from 1867 to 1868.
James Standing later bought the ferry and bridge rights and moved the town to higher ground 1 mile (1.6 km) east.
