Fraser is a residential neighbourhood located between 144th Avenue and 153rd Avenue, and west of 18th Street to Victoria Trail. Almost all residential development occurred during the 1970s and 1980s, but development has continued at a slower pace into the early 2000s while several parcels of residential land are still awaiting development.

The neighbourhood was named in recognition of John Fraser (1840-1919). He was born at Jasper House and was an original homesteader of River Lot 28. Fraser took an active interest in education and was one of the first trustees of the Belmont School, one of the first schools established in the province.

The Fraser Community League is a member of the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues (EFCL).
