Items related to Fremont: A Modern History of an All-American City
Fremont:A modern History of an All-American City is the story of Fremont from its inception in 1956 to the present time, including a glance at its 18th- and 19th-century roots and a glimpse into its future as it prepares to be a key player in Pacific Rim alliances.
Fremont is rich in heritage and history. From the days of the Ohlone Indians and the founding of Mission San Jose to the development of huge fruit orchards and the coming of the digital age, the saga of Fremont is a fascinating blend of Spanish friars, rancheros, vintners and villains, Internet powerhouse chieftains, and ordinary mystics and mortals.
Fremont is a modern city where more than 100 separate languages and dialects are spoken, and despite its size, continuing growth and changing demographics, Fremont is a place where diversity not only works but thrives.
