The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The first settlers arrived in December 1811. Historians have found no specific reason why the town was named Freedom.
The Town of Freedom was founded in 1820, composed of land from the "Town of Ischua" (now Franklinville). The northern portion of Freedom was transferred to Arcade in Wyoming County in 1841. Part of Freedom became the town of Yorkshire in 1844.
Salem Welsh Church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
