Fremont is a city in Alameda County, California, United States. It was incorporated on January 23, 1956, from the annexation of Centerville, Niles, Irvington, Mission San José, and Warm Springs. The city is named after John C. Frémont, an American explorer and former US Senator and Military Governor of California.
Located in the south of the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area, Fremont has a growing population of around 240,000. It is one of the largest cities by land area and the fourth most populous city in the San Francisco Bay Area, behind San Jose, San Francisco, and Oakland. It directly borders and is the closest East Bay city to Silicon Valley as formally defined, and is thus often associated with it. In the 2010s, the city's technology sector experienced rapid growth.
The area consisting of Fremont and the cities of Newark and Union City is known collectively as the Tri-City Area; different from the adjacent Tri-Valley area encompassing Pleasanton, Dublin, and Livermore.
I lived in Fremont from 1998-2008. Newark from 2008-2014. Presently reside in Tracy since 2014. Tracy is starting to slowly get crowded like Fremont too.
we moved to San Jose Evergreen in 2011, yeah Fremont is crowded now, San Jose has more room
Wow, this is a great flashback. I lived in Fremont from 1960-1985 and again 1993-2017. Drove that stretch on Mowry every day. Past my townhouse on Mowry, the Park Plaza Building where I got my first job in 1970, the Valero station i fueled my cars…and on and on lol. Miss you Fremont, my home!
I remember living in Fremont before they built the Hub., BART, and Lake Elisabeth Used to have to go Irvington near the Post Office to a small mom and pop grocery store to go shopping.,
The area was still farmland. There was a cauliflower field near Brier Elementary, which became apartments. There were Walnut trees across from the Hub. For entertainment, had to go to the Centerville theater to see a movie or to the Hayward Roller Rink for skating. For swimming, would have to go to the Hayward Plunge. As Fremont, got bigger there were several drive in movie theaters to go to.
I remember going to the Niles Train Station, where local produce was shipped from. During the summer months, usually in August, you could smell the tomatoes being processed at the Hunt's plant in Hayward.
Moved out Fremont over 20 years ago, and have only been back once. It now looks like any other city in Silicon Valley.
The small mom and Pop wasn't called Pic n Pac was it? Where the Jack in the box is now. I used to walk home to Irvington from the Center theater on Saturdays.
we moved to San Jose in 2011, Fremont has changed so much, crowded now
I moved to Fremont from Las Vegas and I love the city but it’s expensive.
Wow! I grew up in Fremont in the 60's and 70's and hardly recognize it by this video. I saw Blacow where I attended High School Irvington High, I recognize street signs like Paseo Padre etc more than anything else. It's like a whole different place. It was a lot of farmland back in the time I was there. Loved growing up there in those times. Thank you for sharing!
I went to Blacow elementary 1968-74 + Horner Jr. High in 1975. I loved it, great memories.
we grew up in Fremont in the 90s, it was already changing back then, we moved to San Jose in 2011
Grew up here and moved across the Pacific Ocean a few years ago. Your video let me see home. Thanks for this.
I went to a deaf school in Fremont for 6 years from 90 to 96. The trees sure have grown up! I often joked that Fremont doesn’t have a downtown. (Speaking of no skyscrapers)
Thanks for sharing. I grew up in Fremont on Stevenson Blvd in the early 70’s. Graduated from Kennedy in ‘82. I live in NYC now and this bright back some warm memories of the Hub, Fremont Park, Gemco, the skating rink, oh wow that was a long time ago. Happy times, great place to live.
like watching phish phuck.....lol
Yes, but good times. 😁
Oh and I miss that skating rink so much! 😂
@@dragonflyflutterby2952 when did you graduate? And from where?
we grew up in Fremont in the 90s, went to Mission, moved to San Jose in 2011
Fremont ain't the same, miss it but I dont miss how expensive it is out there, 100,000 a year your still below the poverty line, Country Way is the place to eat, besides my childhood home there's not really much I miss about Fremont, live in Sacramento it's getting expensive here now too, might ass well go back to Samoa or Fiji where my wife is from, you could be homeless and still eat like a king/Queen, just living off the land
Still below the poverty line? Wow
What area of the bay do you think is affordable?
@@baklava6138 skid row, lmfao shit Valeo I guess, or if you are on section 8 housing
Fremont is a nice enough place to live, but I think it could have been so much more if it was planned differently. They shouldn't have pushed so much for a "Downtown" Fremont. By the time Fremont was incorporated, having a central downtown was already an outdated model and it never materialized. Instead, They have should have done more to make the small downtowns of Mission San Jose, Irvington, Niles and Centerville nicer and developed them into commercial and shopping districts, encouraging more local business and establishments to set up shop there. (Think of the downtown areas of Los Gatos or Saratoga, or Piedmont Ave. and College Ave. in Oakland). In Warm Springs, maybe they could have put in some kind of spa/resort? In the center of the city, there could still have been the civic center, Lake Elizabith, and some office buildings. Emphasizing the districts more would have given the city a more authentic identity and character by building on what was already there. It would have made it a more interesting and dynamic place. It still is a nice place though, just boring as hell.
How far is the ocean/nearest beach? Looks like Fremont is an inland city?
@@josebro352 If there is no traffic, its about 35 min. to the beach in Santa Cruz, IIRC
Surprised at how well thought out this comment is... super under rated. Are you an aspiring city planner / architect in your spare time 😄, you should take up a job in council here.
I live in Fremont, and yes it is so boring nothing to in Freomt at all.
@@josebro352 it's an hour from SF / Oakland, northeast of San Jose on the bayshore
i remember growing up in fremont....i lived on newport drive....also lived on vogel court....went to irvington high...i have looked at google maps and (drove around) a while back...my old stomping grounds have changed A LOT....still love and miss fremont ...maybe i will visit again soon....also remember fremont raceway aka BAYLANDS ....my first taste of top fuel racing with my dad :)...oh...im 54 now..lol...so over 30 years ago
We heard those engines in Irvington on the weekends. But only for a few seconds. Maybe the race was over. Lol
@@JR-sq2of OHHHH THE MEMORIES OF THE BAY AREA WHEN I WAS YOUNGER....thanks man :)
we grew up in Fremont in the 90s, went to Mission, moved to San Jose in 2011
Thank you for this video. Moved to Colorado last month from Fremont (Niles close to Downtown) & I miss home. Can’t wait to visit in Dec. ♥️
Not much that your missing
we moved to San Jose in 2011, used to live by Hopkins
That’s not a downtown. That’s multiple strip malls.
Yep. The Driver should've went down Fremont Blvd from Mowry to Thornton.
@@RudeCustoms that’s not a downtown either
@@nopenope1186 Between Thornton & Central ave it was considered downtown. I just added Mowry because when Fremont had the Cruise Nights, that was the stretch that everyone used.
@@RudeCustoms it was probably downtown back when it was still centerville but that was 70 years ago.
@@nopenope1186 Centerville is still Centerville. A lot of the buildings on Fremont Blvd from Central to Thornton were torn down. The businesses that were on the east side of the street by Holy Spirit Church to old Sizzler are gone. But the businesses on the west side (same stretch) are there but different businesses. Where King Arthur Toyota and Bank of America used to be are now a combo of Condos and Businesses. The area that Fremont is trying to make the new downtown is in front of the Hub towards where Nation's used to be.
Thanks 👍 graduate 86 well that was the plan at the time. Great place to hriw up ( glenmore) Alot if good times and plenty to do as we aged with Santa Cruz, SF, Marin,Oakland, Berkeley and everything inbetween. Atlantic coast now, love to you deep blue Pacific.
im in fremont rn kind of disappointed they didn't go threw trinity way :( its okay though everything is still there, lake elizabeth ,the hub , windsor , parkvilla , everything
I live in Fremont right now, and this looks super familiar to me
I moved from Fremont to Florida almost 8 years ago, damn
Hasnt changed that much since i was kid. Miss living there. that denny's near target had a lot of memories for me lol
It’s like a different planet to us…
Hello To Everyone from Castro Valley
Thank you for the Great video
That's where I live I live at fremont California!
Hello To Everyone From California
Spent last year in Fremont...feel blessed...most homely place in California...
BEAUTIFUL
Started right next to where I indulged my imagination as a kid. Sadly, Scenario Games and Hobbies is no more. Take a right on Blacow and you'll drive past JFK High school. My father coached there for a little more than 20 years. He showed me the value of community by bringing his team together to spend a week sleeping in their gymnasium and practice double days before the season started.
I attend JFK. Lovely, diverse environment. Nothing has changed though, the school's in same shape since 1965, just a repaint.😅😅 Gosh, the rooms are so crowded it's just not ideal for social distancing.
@@yanislee1085 2005 jfk grad here
I like living in Fremont in my opinion
What downtown?
I could see my house lol
same
😊
It’s more like the city of India 🇮🇳. It’s time for this Californian to move out of this expensive city. Got kicked out after 52 years. I wonder who made it expensive to live in the Bay Area
what happened??? i think its silicon valley and engineers and big tech companies like google driving everything up.
yea gross
Slow down some so I know where your at
Other than LA best place in CA!
I lived in Fremont and suffered a mental breakdown while living there lol now I live in west Oakland Ca much nicer and more unique of a city than Fremont
Oakland? You think OAKLAND is nice?! Lmfao. Yikes.
I wonder does Fremont have a large South Asian community. I grew up not knowing who I was now I know. I guess I need to learn about Fremont
You'd find a lot of Indians, Chinese, Pakistani americans here.
Yes, and now a large Indian community as well. People are very friendly in my experience and I have lived here a long time. It use to be beautiful though with lot’s of open areas and lots that had flowers and fruit trees growing and now it’s houses, condos and apt.s right on top of each other. It’s crazy, it seems like every time I go out to an unvisited area for awhile it looks completely different.
lmao i saw my house
Fun fact Fremont in the 17s 18s and 19s there use the be so much taxis than new york
Is this town part of Silicon Valley?
Fremont traffic fun???
Will be w/ prop. construction. IDK if that helps.
Don't think anything will help! Love all the ugly green poles? How distracting while driving!! The way this place is growing the city's going to need that lane for more cars!!
Question for anyone is Fremont cheap? I'm looking for a cheap city in California to move once I get my Stimulus money
No
@@toblerone3202 ok I guess I need to find a place where I can get around the city on my Bike.
@@thenobleone-3384 The median House price is about 1 Millon and Apartments are over $1600 for 1 bedroom (I live in a 1 bed 523sqft Apartment for about $2100)
If your relying on your stimulus check to move to Fremont then you got Fremont Fucked up....SMFH......all your stimulus money will get you is gas in your car bro.
@@frank-xp6pj LMAO
