Wildlife is abundant during the spring, summer, and into the fall months – California quail, mule deer, hawks, owls, jays, blue birds, cotton tail and jack rabbit are just part of the Frazier Park landscape.

REAL ESTATE

Frazier Park properties range in size from smaller lots with rustic mountain cabins to larger residential parcels with multi-level homes. Parts of Frazier Park are equestrian zoned and many residential properties around the down town area of Frazier Park are zoned for commercial giving residents the opportunity to establish home-based businesses.

Many Frazier Park homes are built on the north and south facing mountain slopes providing residents with unobstructed panoramic views. Homes located at higher elevations border the national forest.

While Frazier Park offers many of the advantages of living in a larger town, it has maintained much of its original rural and rugged flavor. Main roads are paved and serviced by Kern County but many resident-owned roads remain graded and graveled.

FOUR SEASONS

Frazier Park residents enjoy a four-season climate with average temperatures ranging from 85° during the day to 62° at night in the summer and 55° during the day to 38° at night in the winter. The mountains are a great place to escape the Southern and Central California summer heat.

Expect mild summer temperatures with light breezes during the day and a natural cooling down in the evening hours. At an elevation of 4800 feet, Frazier Park can receive light to medium snowfall during the winter months – beautiful snow capped mountains are normally part of the winter scene in Frazier Park.

HISTORY

Chumash Indians

The first settlement in the area of the future Frazier Park was a summer village of the Chumash Indian people. Located in a magnificent oak grove, it was at the base of the mountain they called "Toshololo." Toshololo (Frazier Mountain) was one of the two holy mountains of this region, the other being Iwihinmu (Mt. Pinos) which was the Chumash sacred shrine. The village was called "wo'oht apaovea," which meant the grasshopper's watering hole or "Grasshopper Spring."

El Camino Viejo

The trails going through the mountains in this area were originally created by wild animals, which were worn deeper by the Indians and others in their passage from water hole to water hole. The Spanish "El Camino Viejo" (the old way) passed through the areas of Frazier and Cuddy Valleys, paralleled the present Mil Potrero Highway, and continued down the San Emigdio Canyon. After leaving the canyon, the trail went up the west side of the San Joaquin Valley and on to the early Spanish capital of Monterey. This route from Los Angeles was the most commonly used trail in earliest recorded times.

Campo del Soldado

In the 1850's the area of Frazier Park became known as "Campo del Soldado" (Soldiers Field) when the men of Fort Tejon established an early lumber mill among the oaks to provide lumber for the building of the new military post.

John Cuddy

John Cuddy, who had established a ranch just west of Lake of the Woods, acquired the future area of Frazier Park. When his son came of age, he built his home and barn in the area of today's community park.

Frazier Brothers

The next influence to the future of the area was the Frazier brothers, who in 1870 established a very profitable gold mine on the south slope of the mountain that would soon bear their name.

Marcus Cuddy

By the early 1900's, the oaks and pines around Marcus Cuddy's ranch were a popular mountain camping and vacation spot for the new automobile enthusiasts looking for places to drive away from the city.

When Marcus Cuddy and his wife Dessie divorced, the property was sold to developers from Glendale who envisioned a country club community, riding stables, golf course, clubhouse, seven lakes, and rustic mountain cabin sites. The Frazier Mountain Park Rod and Reel Club were established in 1925, but two of the lakes and the golf course were never constructed.

Markets, lumberyards, lunchrooms, and taverns soon followed, as did the post office and schools. Electricity arrived in 1927 but telephone service was not common until the 1950's.

1930's

By 1930, the population of Frazier Mountain Park had grown to about 150 people but the Depression of the early 1930's soon took its toll. The price of lots plummeted and the area filled up with bootleggers and gamblers.

Things started to change in the sparsely populated mountain town when the economy began to improve in the late 1930's. Frazier Park was rediscovered by people from Southern and Central California passing through on the Grapevine. They bought lots and built homes, businesses opened to meet the demand of the growing population, and once again, the tiny town was its way to a brighter future.
