The resort is named after an English adventurer, Louis James Fraser, who, towards the end of the
nineteenth century built himself a shack in the hills, operated a primitive mule train and embarked on the lucrative trade in tin ore. This continued until the first decade of the twentieth century when he apparently disappeared.

In 1910, Bishop Ferguson Davie of Singapore combed the mountains in search of Fraser. The search for Fraser proved fruitless but he had on the other hand discovered a perfect mountain retreat - one that was to become one of Malaysia's foremost hill resorts. Surveying work began in 1919 and set the stage for its development as mountain retreat.

Today, in spite of the spate of developments and the addition of modern hotels and luxury condominiums, Fraser's Hill retains much of its natural charm and quiet tranquillity through careful planning and engineering ingenuity.

 (Tip: It is advisable to drive slowly and leisurely on this section to avoid car motion sickness. It is important to negotiate the bends "smoothly" and slowly to prevent the back of the car from swinging causing much discomfort tor passengers. Slow moving vehicles like tour coaches usually does not create car motion sickness for its passengers. Avoid oily and spicy food before the journey, have sufficient sleep and wind down the windows to have plenty of  fresh air. Medication like "Sea Legs" is sold in pharmacies as restricted drugs (which can cause drowsiness) but remember to take them (not for the driver), at least half and hour before the journey starts. Remember that once you feel the discomfort of car motion sickness, it is more difficult to alleviate the discomfort than to prevent one in the first place)
