Early Fremont History
Formation of Fremont twp in 1873 when Moody County was organized. (The year of the massive German-Russian immigration, Advent of Railroads in South Dakota). Fremont history is tightly weaved into that of Medary, which became the county seat of Midway County in 1857—so before Moody County, we were probably part of Midway or Minnehaha County. The population of Fremont twp in 1900 was 400—do you think our present population is more or less than this?
