The timeline between the EF and our world as it pertains to how/when we know their stories is very peculiar. Emma is 28 at the start of the show. At the time of Emma's birth, Snow was maybe late 20's, early 30's, meaning at the start of OuaT, Snow White was at most like 60ish years old. Her stories, and the stories of all the people who lived along side her in the EF are way older than that. Snow White was published by the Brothers Grimm in 1812. Others from the EF have their stories being told in our world as far back as the 10th century.
