History

Early settler William Lambert named the community Red Hill for the red clay bank on Frazier's Creek, upon which it stands. A post office was established at Red Hill in 1878 and remained in operation until 1905. The community was said to have reached its zenith in 1884 because lumber and livestock were the two principal resources in the area, and also had saw and gristmills, three churches, and 130 residents. Most of the businesses moved closer to the railroad in 1890, causing the population to plunge to 30. It had a population between 20 and 40 throughout the 20th century. Only 20 people lived there in 1983 and were served by a town hall and two businesses. It remained at that level in 1990 and grew to 28 in 2000. [2]
