The New Town called Fraser Town in 1914.
The Plague was responsible for creation of Malleshwaram and Basavanagudi near Bengalooru Pete. Likewise Fraser Town was one of the new towns created in a older area called Mootoocherry near the St. John's Church to decongest the Cantonment due to the plague.
