History

Mission Peak as seen from the Central Park/Lake Elizabeth area.

The recorded history of the Fremont area began on June 9, 1797 when Mission San José was founded by the Spaniard Father Fermin de Lasuen. The Mission was established at the site of the Ohlone native village of Oroysom. On their second day in the area, the Mission party killed a grizzly bear in Niles Canyon. The first English-speaking visitor to Fremont was the renowned trapper and explorer Jedediah Smith in 1827. The Mission prospered, eventually reaching a population of 1,886 inhabitants in 1831. The influence of the missionaries declined after 1834, when the Mexican government enacted secularization.

Unlike most cities in the Bay Area, Niles retains a small town feel anchored by a tight-knit community. Geography partly explains the community's cohesion; in addition to sitting against the base of Fremont's hills, the town is physically divided from other parts of Fremont and neighboring Union City by Mission Boulevard (State Route 238) to the east and north, Alameda Creek to the south, Union Pacific railroads to the west and southeast, and the Quarry Lakes to the southwest. Old Town Niles features its own library, post office, and silent movie theater as well as a large number of antique and craft stores. The town is named after Addison Niles.

Baseball stadium

On 7 November 2006, reports surfaced that the Bay Area's American League baseball team, the Oakland Athletics, plans to build a 36,000-seat baseball stadium in Fremont, to be called Cisco Field.[7] A formal announcement given a short time later (from the franchise and the city of Fremont) confirmed that the team will relocate from the city of Oakland and move to Cisco Field in South Fremont in 2010 or 2011. A sizeable portion of the team's fan base already resides in the southern Alameda County area; the new stadium's closer proximity to the lucrative Silicon Valley market is also seen as a positive aspect of the relocation. There is much controversy regarding this proposal, for many reasons, including the lack of public transportation, chronic and severe traffic congestion, wetlands intrusion, deterioration in quality of life, loss of business taxes, and financial doubts. is the 311th day of the year (312th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

On February 27, 2007, the San Jose Mercury News reported that just across the street from the envisioned ballpark village site sits Scott Specialty Gases, a distributor of highly toxic materials used in semi-conductor manufacturing. Fremont officials advised team owner Lew Wolff last year that he'd need to either relocate the plant or find another way to mitigate the potential hazard posed by a toxic gas cloud floating over a ballpark filled with 32,000 people. ^[7] This is seen as a major obstacle in getting a stadium built in Fremont.

On May 10, 2007, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that the team had signed a contract to buy 168 acres (68 ha) of land in Fremont.[8]
