Fremont was incorporated in 1956 by merging five smaller communities: Centerville, Irvington, Mission San Jose, Niles, and Warm Springs. Fremont’s population is estimated at over 220,000. Fremont has the largest Afghan population in the United States due to fleeing refugees from civil war, Soviet invasion and the Taliban government.
