Fort Fraser, Military fort in Polk County, Florida, US.
The fort stands at the coordinates 27°56′51″N and 81°51′58″W between the cities of Lakeland and Bartow in central Florida.
Fort Fraser operated from 1837 to 1838 during the Second Seminole War under Colonel Zachary Taylor, who later became President of the United States.
The fort bears the name of Captain Upton S. Fraser, who lost his life in combat against Seminole Indians during the March to Fort King.
The location maintains limited physical structures from its original construction, making historical documentation the primary source of information about the site.
After the United States Army abandoned the fort in May 1838, the structure served as an informal shelter during the American Civil War.
