Fremont Township List of Landowners 1861 In the spring of 1999, Fremont Public Library surveyed local government offices. We wished to see what offices were keeping records of historical interest in our area. One of the items they own is a map of Lake County, published in 1861 by the L. Gast Bro. & Co. Lith. of St. Louis. (this map is hanging in the board room at the township offices.)
