History
The town had its roots in coal mining. The mine owner gave the name of McKissick to the camp before being renamed after a land owner, Fredrick A. Clark. Immigrants from Europe and Latin America worked in the Frederick Coal Mine until it shut its doors in 1928.
Frederick updated its image in 2014 by releasing a new town logo, which had a gas lamp on a mountain background. They also picked their motto, “built on what matters.”
