History of Fraser's Hill
Fraser’s Hill is named after Louis James Fraser. Rising 1,500 meters above sea-level on the Titiwangsa mountain range of Peninsular Malaysia is Fraser's Hill.He was perhaps an accountant by profession but was also a man with a spirit of adventure. Having failed in a venture at gold mining in Australia, he migrated in the 1890s to the Malay States to seek his fortune in tin mining although there is no record of him being issued with a mining lease. He operated a transport business using mules and bullocks to collect tin ore from miners along the Tras-Kuala Kubu route. He lived at that time in a bare humble dwelling in Tras, probably because of the relative ease with which provisions and machinery could reach Tras up river in Pahang.
