About City of Fremont

The fourth largest city in Silicon Valley, Fremont has a storied past and a bright future. Back in 1956, five individual townships came together to form the City of Fremont. Now recognized as districts, Centerville, Niles, Irvington, Warm Springs, and Mission San Jose represent the different characters of Fremont. 

Fremont’s strength is found in the diversity of our community. More than 98 languages are spoken in Fremont homes and you can find almost any kind of delicious international cuisine you desire in our family-owned restaurants.

Speaking of families, residents are attracted to Fremont’s nationally-recognized high-ranking public schools and our stunning parks and hiking vistas. There’s plenty to do and see in Fremont, including beautiful Lake Elizabeth, Central Park, and Mission San José.

If our districts are Fremont’s “heart,” then Fremont’s “brain” are its innovative roots in advanced manufacturing. In Silicon Valley speak, Fremont is the “hardware side of the Bay” and we’re proud of it. Apple and Steve Jobs chose to open their first manufacturing site here in 1984.

And dating back to 1960, the automotive industry has produced millions of trucks and cars from Fremont’s assembly lines. Today, we’re home to over 900 advanced manufacturing companies in our various employment hubs, representing 1 in every 4 jobs.
