Fact text
- Freeport got its name because ship captains were never charged customs duties to land their cargo there, so they nicknamed it 'Freeport' and it stuck.
- A developer named John Randall built a house practically overnight on a triangular lot just to spite the city planners who wanted a grid layout, the Freeport Spite House still stands today.
- Freeport was basically a secret summer colony for vaudeville stars, with Will Rogers, Buster Keaton, W.C. Fields, and Fannie Brice all hanging out there between shows.
- The local actors' club threw a 'Christmas Parade' every summer, complete with borrowed elephants, because theater folks were always working during the actual Christmas season.
- A boat built in Freeport completed the first-ever Atlantic crossing powered entirely by an outboard motor, sailing from Nova Scotia all the way to Portugal in 1985.
