Frederick A. Woodworth

(died February 12, 1865) was a prominent San Francisco businessman, attorney, and member of the Society of California Pioneers and Woodworth political family.

[5] Woodworth had large real estate holdings in San Francisco, including a lot at Market and Second Street where the future Grand Hotel was built.

The landmark California legal case of Woodworth v. Fulton, involving disputed property of Frederick and his brother, Selim, is still precedent, today.

Initially she took employment working as a cook and housekeeper at the house belonging to the Case, Heiser & Company, Woodworth's commission merchant business.

Through an interpreter the residents were addressed by city leadership on August 28, 1850 at Portsmouth Square, including Frederick, in which their safety and protection were promised.
