History

Mount Fraser was named by botanist and explorer Allan Cunningham on 26 August 1828, after Charles Fraser who was the Colonial Botanist of New South Wales from 1821 to 1831. It is presumed that the creek and locality name are derived from the mountain, albeit with a variant spelling. Frazerview State School was opened on 25 November 1915. Three days later the school was destroyed by fire. It was re-opened one year later and continued to educate children until December 1975 when the school was closed due to low attendance rates with the remaining students transferred to Engelburg State School in Kalbar (later renamed Kalbar State School.
