The origin of Frase's Hill.
The Police Station built in 1919. Fraser’s Hill being more than 1500m above sea level enjoy a cooler temperature compared to Kuala Lumpur but apart from that it is just as humid and wet like the rest of Malaysia. What make this hill resort more unique compared to the other hill resort in the country is the ‘Little England’ atmosphere it try to portray.
Fraser’s Hill was named after Scottish tin trader, Louis James Fraser who was operating there in 1890s. The mining activities ceased by 1913 when the place ran out of tin deposits. The former mining area is where the present day Fraser’s Hill Golf Club is located.
The British colonial administration decided to developed the area into a hill resort in 1917 to serve as a week end retreat for the Europeans who resided in Kuala Lumpur. Many of the old building still have the old colonial architecture to remind us of the era.
There are numerous trails to choose for those who like to explore the green forest where 250 bird species can be found. The trails carry name like Maxwell trail, Abu Suradi trail, Bishop’s trail, Hemmant trail, Rompin trail, Kindersley trail, Mager trail and Pine tree trail must have mystery tale behind it.
Now is the time to visit this interesting hill resort before further development robbing its uniqueness.
