The town was destroyed by a labor revolt (known as "The Fireburn" because arson was utilized as a means of revolt) in October 1878, which was led by four Crucian female laborers.
 Frederiksted was later restored during the Victorian era, as reflected in the town's architecture.

Modern Frederiksted operates at a slower pace than Christiansted, except for carnival in January and whenever cruise ships dock in Frederiksted's deepwater port.
In recent years successful redevelopment efforts have begun to restore and revitalize this National Historic Site.
The 2000 census population of the town was 732, and that of the larger sub-district was 3,767.
