Location and administration
The settlement belonged administratively to the district of Mendrisio and was governed under the laws of the canton of Ticino. Before 2009 it functioned as an independent municipal entity with local responsibilities for services and planning.
Merger of 2009
On 5 April 2009 Tremona ceased to exist as an independent municipality when it merged with several neighbouring municipalities to form an enlarged municipality of Mendrisio. The other municipalities involved in the reorganisation were:
- Arzo
- Capolago
- Genestrerio
- Mendrisio
- Rancate
- Tremona
Following the merger, local administration and services were consolidated under the municipal government of Mendrisio, and Tremona's territory became part of that larger municipal unit.
