History

Fredericksburg was originally called “Stumptown” after a disreputable settler named Frederick Stump, who founded the town in 1755, and reportedly massacred an encampment of ten inebriated Indians one winter and sent their bodies down the Susquehanna.

Fredericksburg was the birthplace of James Lick, a pianomaker who moved to San Francisco and invested in real estate just before the Gold Rush. Lick had become the wealthiest man in California by the time of his death, leaving his large fortune to philanthropic causes.

Fredericksburg was the birthplace of Clayton Mark, the prominent steel magnate, in 1858. Mark was the founder of the planned worker community of Marktown, Indiana.
