The peak affords clear views of the Salinas Valley, Monterey Bay, the southern part of the Santa Clara Valley, and surrounding mountain ranges.[2] It is located on Rocky Ridge, {{convert|11|mi}} northeast of Salinas, California.[3] The peak is the site of Fremont Peak State Park which was established with {{convert|188|acres}} in 1936.[6] Today the park has camping and picnic facilities,[4] and is favored by astronomers for its clear views unsullied by artificial light. The Fremont Peak Observatory Association maintains a {{convert|30|in|adj=on}} diameter f/4.8 Newtonian "Challenger" telescope which was built by telescope maker Kevin Medlock in the early 1980s.[5] The peak is also the site of the transmitters for television stations such as KSBW[6] and KCBA[7] and for radio stations such as KDON-FM.[8] HistoryPreviously called Gavilan Peak, it is now named for John C. Frémont, an American explorer and a Captain in the U.S. Army Corps of Topographical Engineers at the time. In 1846, he and a crew of 60 armed surveyors mounted the peak to assess its military value. The peak commands the inland approach from Monterey. As a response to the threat, local Mexican authority General José Castro ordered Frémont and his men to leave California. In defiance, Frémont built a crude stockade and raised a modified American flag above the peak (or, according to some sources, on a lower peak nearby).[9] The U.S. Consul in Monterey, Thomas O. Larkin supported Castro's decision to evict Frémont, and his men were duly ordered out of the area. Frémont took providence from a windy night which blew down the makeshift flagpole to hasten himself and his men from the peak. The peak is now registered as California Historical Landmark #181.[10] Following a ride to the summit on March 4, 1906, Frémont Peak Day was inaugurated by local residents. Nineteen years later, the Native Sons of the Golden West installed a commemorative plaque on the summit.[11][12] {{wide image|Fremontpeak_panorama.jpg|750px|360° panorama from the top of Fremont Peak}}References1. ^1 {{cite ngs | id = GU3819 | designation = Fremont Peak 2 | accessdate = 2009-08-04 }} 2. ^http://geologycafe.com/3Dbayarea/html/FremontPeak.htm 3. ^ {{cite gnis | id = 223878 | name = Fremont Peak | accessdate = 2010-02-03 }} 4. ^ {{cite web | url = http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=564 | title = Fremont Peak SP | publisher = California State Parks | accessdate = 2010-02-02 }} 5. ^ {{cite web | url = http://www.fpoa.net/ | title = About FPOA | publisher = Fremont Peak Observatory Association | accessdate = 2010-02-03 }} 6. ^ {{cite web | url = http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/AsrSearch/asrRegistration.jsp?regKey=2612663 | title = KSBW TV Antenna Structure Registration | publisher = Federal Communications Commission | accessdate = 2010-02-02 }} 7. ^ {{cite web | url = http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/AsrSearch/asrRegistration.jsp?regKey=116602 | title = KCBA TV Antenna Structure Registration | publisher = Federal Communications Commission | accessdate = 2010-02-02 }} 8. ^ {{cite web | url = http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/AsrSearch/asrRegistration.jsp?regKey=2612663 | title = KCBA Antenna Structure Registration | publisher = Federal Communications Commission | accessdate = 2010-02-02 }} 9. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.longcamp.com/hawks.html | title = The Hawk's Peak Affair | publisher = | accessdate = 2014-03-08 }} 10. ^1 {{cite ohp|181|Fremont Peek|2012-10-11}} 11. ^1 {{cite book | author = Andrew Rolle | title = John Charles Frémont, Character as Destiny | year = 1991 | location = Norman, Oklahoma | publisher = University of Oklahoma Press | page = 296 | isbn = 978-0-585-35954-0 }} 12. ^ {{cite web | url = http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fremont_Peak-1946_Plaque.jpg | title = Fremont Plaque 1925 | accessdate = 2010-01-24 }} External links{{commons category|Fremont Peak (California)}}
