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.
The community has always been closely associated with the town of Moroni, even being included in its census precinct through most of its history.
