History
Fremont was first settled in 1834 under the name Willow Prairie. It became the Village of Brockville when it was platted in 1837. In 1848, it was renamed to honor John C. Frémont, "the Great Pathfinder", in part because there was already a Brockville in Indiana.
A post office was established under the name Brockville in 1837, and was renamed to Fremont in 1848. The post office is currently in operation.
In 1914, the first hospital in Steuben County was opened in Fremont by Dr. Wade.
