Collinston is an unincorporated community on the northeastern edge of Box Elder County, Utah, United States.
Mainly an agricultural community, the town is located southeast of Fielding and almost directly west of Riverside, at coordinates 41.7747°N -112.095°W (441.7746496, -112.0949517). Its elevation is 4,432 feet (1,351 m). It has a post office with the ZIP code 84306.[1]
Collinston is mentioned as the approximate location where Captain John C. Frémont crossed the Bear River in 1843.[2]
The town was originally known as Hampton or Hampton Ford. 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 east. The name was changed to Collinston, after Utah Northern Railroad conductor Collins Fulmer.[3]
