== History == Fremona was originally called "Maigoga" (mai, Tigrinya "water," and guagua, "noisy") because of the two rocky streams that ran through the community. The origin of the name is uncertain but it is very old, appearing on Aksumite inscriptions; it was not renamed by the Jesuit missionaries. It was there that bishop Andrés de Oviedo died and was buried in 1577, and his tomb became a shrine to the local Catholics.
