Fraser Town, Bengaluru, Colonial residential district in central Bengaluru, India.
Fraser Town is a residential district in central Bengaluru with tree-lined streets and colonial-era buildings that define its character. The area is connected by roads including Coles Road and Mosque Road, with green spaces and community facilities distributed throughout.
The district was established in 1906 by British administration and named after Stuart Mitford Fraser, who had connections to the Mysore kingdom. This development occurred during the period of urban expansion under colonial rule.
The neighborhood is home to Hindu, Muslim, and Christian communities who celebrate their traditions throughout the year, creating a multicultural rhythm in daily life. This coexistence shapes how people use shared spaces and interact within the district.
Coles Park opens early in the morning and offers exercise areas, a skating rink, and a playground for children spread across the space. The park is easy to navigate and works well for morning visits or evening strolls.
Albert Bakery, established in 1902, predates the neighborhood itself and produces traditional baked goods like cocktail samosas and seasonal items such as Easter eggs. This long-standing business reflects the area's local craftsmanship traditions.
