History

The earliest record relating to Frazier Park was a report in 1854 that lumber was being produced there from Frazier Mountain trees for use at the new Army post at nearby Fort Tejon. Local historian Bonnie Ketterl Kane wrote that the mill was “supposedly” at the southeast end of the present community. She cited another report that a Kitanemuk Indian referred to the site as Campo del Soldado (Soldier’s Camp), “which was where the soldiers stayed when they cut timber from a mountain they called Pinery Mountain, today’s Frazier Mountain.”

The community was established in 1925 by Harry McBain, who named it in 1926 for Frazier Mountain, on its southern flank. Its post office was established on September 14, 1927, with Charles B. Fife as the first postmaster.

Frazier Park was used in filming for The Waltons television show.

Frazier Park is the setting of the 2011 film The FP and 1974’s The Black Six.
