Fremont County, Administrative county in central Colorado, United States
Located in the heart of Colorado, Fremont County spans 1,534 square miles of terrain, with Cañon City serving as its administrative center point.
The county, established in 1861 and named after explorer John C. Fremont, played a significant role in the early development of Colorado's territorial period.
Fremont County maintains connections with international communities through sister city relationships with Kahoku in Japan, Valday in Russia, and Skippack in Pennsylvania.
