History
Mount Fraser was named by botanist and explorer Allan Cunningham on 26 August 1828, after Charles Fraser who was the Colonial Botanist of New South Wales from 1821 to 1831.{{Cite QPN|13162|Mount Fraser|mountain in the Scenic Rim Region|access-date=1 February 2025}} It is presumed that the creek and locality name are derived from the mountain, albeit with a variant spelling.
