The settlement is a small agricultural community on the former SR-30 (1935-1966), 4 miles (6.4 km) northwest of Moroni and 6 miles (9.7 km) 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.[3]
The community has always been closely associated with the town of Moroni, even being included in its census precinct through most of its history.
