Fraser Township, established in 1875 as the tenth Township of Bay County, Michigan, has a rich history dating back to the late 1700s when it was part of the Indian Reserve controlled by the French and English. Originally known for its abundance of natural resources, including forests and proximity to Saginaw Bay, the township played a significant role in the early development and settlement of the region.
With a heritage rooted in French Canadian settlers and a transition from lumbering to farming as the primary economic activity, Fraser Township continues to thrive as a community that values its agricultural heritage and close connection to the Saginaw Bay. The township's history is intertwined with the Michigan Central and Detroit and Mackinaw Railroads, reflecting its past as a vital transportation hub in the region.
