Remine is located on the west coast of Tasmania on the shores of Trial Bay, and was once an important port serving the mining town of Zeehan before the advent of the railway. The conditions at the port were very difficult for ships, as there was little shelter for those loading and unloading their cargoes. Once an Aboriginal settlement, the area was first discovered in 1881 by four Baltic sailors in their cutter named Trial. Soon a town developed on the Harbour, with stores run by Conrad and Hunter, Robert Walker, Joseph Gourley and Weber and Karlson; the latter also owned a hotel in the town.

The Government built a jetty in 1883 and elected Captain John Murray as harbourmaster. The nearest post office was at Montagu Mine, 3 kilometres from Remine. Some of the materials used in the building of some of the towns' structures originated from the convict settlement at Sarah Island. In 1887 a bush fire destroyed most of the buildings in the town, and later that year the cutter Trial was wrecked trying to enter the Harbour she had so successfully navigated for the first time in 1881.

The demise of Remine was heralded in 1892 with the arrival of rail services to Zeehan, and finally with the completion of the Emu Bay Railway Company line to the mining towns of Zeehan, Rosebery and Renison Bell in 1899.
