On Sept. 19, 1877 a Post Office was established on the Paducah & Memphis line.  At that time The Point was very sparsely populated with a combination of small farms and summer estates owned by rich Memphians.  Dr. J. R. Frayser, a prominent old Memphis physician, was one of many wealthy Memphians who invested in property along the new railroad to the north and built a summer home to use as a haven when fever epidemics struck Memphis.  His land was at the intersection of roads leading to Big Creek (Millington Rd.) and Raleigh (Whitney-Dellwood), across from the small railroad depot that become known as Frayser Station.

The arrival of the railroad through The Point brought immigration.  An Italian vegetable farmer named Dallosta settled on The Point and began sponsored other farming immigrant families from his home in northern Italy.  By 1900, Frayser Station had become a predominantly Italian community.

In 1889, the C.O. & S. railroad line was purchased by the Illinois Central system.  At that time the ICRR connected Chicago with Fulton, KY.  The ICRR added lines going to New Orleans and changed it's name to the I.C. Gulf R.R. For years the passenger train through Frayser was called the Fulton Accommodation.

Frayser Station was not the depot on The Point.  A railroad stop two miles farther north was named for Squire Ben Felt, a prominent resident who helped form The Point Church, and an third was located at Overton, on the south side of the Loosahatchie River.  Another community east of Frayser Station, above the Hindman Ferry, became a futuristic subdivision called Rugby Hills Estates.  The area north of Rugby Hills was called Ardmore.

With the automobile came the demise of passenger traffic on the railroad.  The railroad depots were closed and over the years the station part of the name was dropped.  Today, the entire western tip of what was The Point is simply known as Frayser.
