Opened:

October
1, 1971 (with the rest of the Magic Kingdom) |
| Origins: |
Frontierland was
inspired by the adventuresome spirit that drove
the pioneers westward from the 1770s to the
1880s. Frontierland pays tribute to several
American frontiers, including the old South,
the Mississippi River and the desert Southwest.
This pioneer spirit was brought to life by
the Davy Crockett series of television shows
produced by Walt Disney, which in turn helped
to inspire the original Frontierland in Disneyland. |
| Updates: |
Frontierland has
seen several large-scale renovations over the
years. In 1973 the Richard F. Irvine steamboat
was launched on the Rivers of America, home
to Tom
Sawyer Island which also opened that
year.
1980 saw the next renovation of Frontierland
with the construction of the Big
Thunder Mountain Railroad. 12 years later,
the Frontierland Railroad Station was demolished
and rebuilt, paving the way
for the third Magic Kingdom mountain, Splash
Mountain. |
