History
Frederickton was named after Frederick William Chapman. In a manuscript he wrote about his life on the Macleay River called Early Days on the Macleay 1836-1908 "I decided to subdivide a small portion of my property into township lots and call it Frederickton…they sold very well and a nice little village had soon formed."
He had surveyed the 170 acres for sub division. The locality had been the site of a ship building, this town was based around ship building, timber getting and pastoral pursuits.[1]
