Fremont, who came through Mission Pass in the 1840's, however Mission San Jose, founded in 1797, is one of the oldest settlements in the area and the only mission in Alameda County. Ohlone Indians, the area's original inhabitants, built and maintained the mission under the direction of the Spanish padres. In 1956, the communities of Mission San Jose, Centerville, Niles, Irvington and Warm Springs combined to form the city of Fremont. Today, the 94-square mile city combines residential living with industrial and commercial developments.
