Description
The settlement is a small agricultural community on the former
SR-30 (1935-1966), northwest of
Moroni and south of
Fountain Green. It was settled in 1871 during a post-Civil War period when several patriotic names developed. The town was originally named ''Draper'' for an early settler, but was renamed ''Freedom'' in 1877.
The community has always been closely associated with the town of Moroni, even being included in its census precinct through most of its history.
