Bernhard Lindahl identifies Fremona with the modern settlement of Endiet Nebersh, located 10 kilometers from Adwa.

[2]: Endiet Nebersh Fremona was originally called "Maigoga" (mai, Tigrinya "water," and guagua, "noisy") because of the two rocky streams that ran through the community.

[3] It was there that bishop Andrés de Oviedo died and was buried in 1577, and his tomb became a shrine to the local Catholics.

"[4] It was here that the Catholic priests, patriarch and bishop were exiled, after Emperor Fasilides condemned Catholicism and restored to official status the traditional beliefs of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in 1634.

The Ethiopian historian Richard Pankhurst cites a taxation report from 1697 that mentions Fremona under its old name Maigoga.
