The Town was named after General John C. Fremont an anti-slavery, political figure and Civil War General whose presidential campaign slogan was “Free Soil, Free Speech, Free Men, FRE-MONT!”. The Town’s land area of 32,800 acres offers a distinct rural beauty and a history that dates back to its founding in 1851 when the only way to access the Town was via the waters of the Delaware. It was created by dividing the Town of Callicoon, and the lands of Fremont were the last in Sullivan County to be opened up for settlement as there were no roads to it in any direction. It is said that the first settler here settled at Hankins in 1780. In addition to the settlement at Hankins, two other parts of the town were independently settled. One at Long Pond (now Tennanah Lake) and the other at Basket. Since that time the town has managed to grow and flourish without losing its original beauty and tranquility. It has become a hide-away for those who love peace, privacy and seclusion… and a great place to dodge the papparazzi!
