Fremont is a town 100 miles away from Lawndale and in a different state. It was the setting for the main events during the episode Speedtrapped.
Overview[]
Fremont is described by Daria as being even duller than Lawndale is.
Fremont's true location is unknown. It appears to be nearer than Swedesville, which was the town where Alternapalooza was being held during the events of Road Worrier.
The vegetation changes abruptly from lush woods to desert at the town line. The town is sparsely inhabited, with the inhabitants all seeming to know each other: the Sheriff's Deputy is on casual speaking terms with Sally, a repeat offender, and is used to the idea she'll attack her husband (the local judge) for "saying or doing something stupid". There's a local shopping outlet, and a bar called Mad Dawg's that's frequented by cowboy wannabes. A local radio station plays country and western music all the time. There's a Sheriff's Department, and no police department. There's also a VFW (Post 37) where the Sheriff hosted a birthday party for his daughter Madison.
Jake Morgendorffer once went there on a business trip, taking Daria with him when Helen couldn't attend at the last minute.
Everyone in Fremont has a stereotypical southern accent despite being close to Lawndale, which has a 'generic' mid-Atlantic accent. If one assumes that Lawndale is in Maryland, Fremont could be in Virginia but that still doesn't explain the mass desert.
While the episode shows a "Fremont Town Limits" sign in the episode, Quinn later mentions stopping at a "little town" between the sign and the Sheriff's Office, and Travis the hitchhiker is picked up there and sings for a long time (Daria claims two hours but was probably exaggerating). It may have been intended to be a county.
