7 Facts For 70 Years: Niles – The Birthplace of California’s Film Industry

While Hollywood is known as the heart of filmmaking, Fremont’s Niles District played a starring role in the history of silent films. In fact, Niles became one of California’s very first homes to the motion picture industry.

Legendary actor, director, and screenwriter Charlie Chaplin filmed several movies here — including his iconic classic The Tramp. Today, Niles’ historic district remains a living piece of cinema history, with many original buildings standing for over a century.

Among them is the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum, which once hosted some of the biggest names in silent film. The historic site continues to share their stories with visitors from around the world, showing silent movies every Saturday night.

Join us in celebrating Fremont’s 70th anniversary at our upcoming event on January 23, 2026, from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the Downtown Event Center and Plaza, 3500 Capitol Ave. Additional details can be found at city.fremont.gov/70celebration.
