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.

The post office is currently in operation. In 1914, the first hospital in Steuben County was opened in Fremont by Dr. Wade.
