History

There is evidence of human settlement in this area as early as 6000 BC. Treeton is referred to as "Trectone" or "Tretone" in the Domesday book of 1086, which also mentions that the village had a church and two mills. The present parish church of Saint Helen's was originally built in 1175, it was expanded in the 14th century and extensively restored in the 19th century. The North Midland Railway Company built a railway through the village in 1840, this later became the Midland Railway. There was a station at Treeton until 1951. A colliery was built at Treeton starting in 1875, this operated until it was forced to close in 1990.

On 25 June 2007 the lower section of the village was evacuated because of fears that cracks in the dam at Ulley reservoir could lead to widespread flooding in the valley.
