History

Initially named McKissick for the mine owner, Frederick was renamed when the daughters of Frederick A. Clark, a land owner, laid out the town site in 1907 and named it for their father. Incorporated in 1907, the Town of Frederick began as a coal mining town attracting immigrants from Italy, France, Greece, Turkey, several Slavic countries and Latin America. The Frederick Coal mine closed in 1928.

In 2014 the town ‘re-branded’ by designing a logo that is a stylized gas lamp with a mountain range background, and adopting the tag line “Built on What Matters”. Prior to the re-branding the town primarily used the seal as a logo on town vehicles and letter head.

The town came to national media attention upon becoming the scene of a high-profile murder case in which resident Chris Watts killed his pregnant wife and their two daughters in August 2018.
