Discovering Frazer Corners
Frazer Corners is located in a special spot where four different towns meet. These towns are Angelica, Hartland, Lessor, and Maple Grove. Imagine a place where you could be in four different towns almost at the same time!
Where is Frazer Corners?
This community is about 6 miles (or 9.7 kilometers) west of a town called Pulaski. You can find it right where two county roads, Highway F and Highway S, cross paths. This makes it easy to find on a map.
How Frazer Corners Got Its Name
Frazer Corners was named after an important person in its early history: George H. Frazer. He was one of the very first people to settle in this area. Not only that, but he was also the first "chairman" of the town of Lessor. A chairman is like the main leader or head of the local government for that area.
The First Post Office
In December 1881, something important happened in Frazer Corners: a post office was opened! This was a big deal because it meant people could send and receive mail more easily. The very first person in charge of this new post office was Peter E. Blitchfeldt. He was called the "postmaster."
