Fremont is a town in Fremont Township, Steuben County, Indiana, United States. The population was 2,138 at the 2010 census. Settled in 1834 as 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.〔Taylor et al., p. 25.〕 In 1914, the first hospital in Steuben County was opened in Fremont by Dr. Wade. ==Geography== Fremont is located at , four miles east of the interchange between Interstate 69 and the Indiana Toll Road (Interstate 80/90) on State Road 120. According to the 2010 census, Fremont has a total area of , of which (or 99.55%) is land and (or 0.45%) is water.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=G001 - Geographic Identifiers - 2010 Census Summary File 1 )〕 As an oddity, someone traveling due east from Fremont crosses into Michigan—not into Ohio. This is due to the early 19th century Ohio-Michigan boundary dispute over Toledo (q.v. Toledo War for details). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fremont, Indiana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
