Fremont Travel Guide

Fremont is a large city that sits just above Newark and Union City in the San Francisco Bay Area. Fremont has a long history that was first officially recorded in the late 1700s when it was occupied by the Spanish. The Spanish settlers explored the area and started to expand the borders of their tiny village. The expansion did not start to bloom until the California Gold Rush when men from all over the country went to California to try their luck - and today Fremont is a large, bustling city. If you like to spend time outdoors then you will love it at Fremont, which has been nicknamed the 'Tree City' as it has over 55,000 trees throughout the parks in the city.
