Fremont, California Highlights
Fremont is a suburban city in the southeast Bay Area, in Alameda County. Many people in Fremont work in the electronics industry, and usually commute to the Silicon Valley for work.
Unlike most sprawling suburbs, Fremont was planned and was meant to be the way it is. In the 1950s, fearing that they would be annexed by the growing city of Hayward to the north, seven very small towns decided to unite to avoid annexation. The two towns closest to Hayward quickly incorporated into Union City. The six remaining towns got together and extensively planned for incorporation as well. Space was allocated for both industry and homes. Space was also set aside for roads large enough to support massive traffic flows. One of the small cities (Newark) dropped out of the coalition because it was slated to become an industrial zone. The five remaining cities annexed all the surrounding land to form Fremont.
The oldest of the small towns was Mission San Jose, a Spanish mission founded in 1797. Fremont has been multicultural since its inception. Today's visitor is likely to hear half-a-dozen languages spoken, even during a fleeting trip to the city.
Fremont is bordered by Milpitas to the south and Union City to the north, and it entirely surrounds the small city of Newark. *
