Glen Frazer, California

Glen Frazer,[1] formerly known as Frazerville,[3] is an unincorporated farming community in Contra Costa County, California, United States.[1] It is located 8 miles (13 km) north of Orinda,[3] at an elevation of 295 feet (90 m).[1] It was the name of the train station used by the Santa Fe Railroad (formerly, Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad).[3] It is located along Franklin Canyon Road about 100 yards east of McHarry Ranch Rd. The sign marking the location of the old station disappeared in the mid-1990s and was near the town of Martinez, CA. The BNSF Railway still runs along the canyon and past this location. The train right of way was donated to the Santa Fe Railroad by George Frazer (he received a train pass used once to go to San Francisco){Julian Frazer family history}, but there never was a person named Glen Frazer. It was named Glen because it sat in a glen.{Julian Frazer family history}
