Fremont’s Niles district a treat for antique, film, history, railway enthusiasts

Niles is known as the hidden treasure of Fremont. Located at the base of the Diablo Range mountains and Mission Boulevard, it hosts a wide variety of summertime activities. 

This northeastern section of the city dates to the 1850s, and there’s lots of small-town charm, with a dozen antique stores, shops and restaurants within a four-block radius. Most of the activities and shops are located along Niles Boulevard. A few well-placed antique cars add to the sense that visitors have stepped back in time.
