Fratton has a rich history, dating back to the Roman period. It was once a separate village, but over time it has become integrated with the city of Portsmouth. Today, Fratton is known for its strong sense of community, with several local organisations and initiatives aimed at improving the area and fostering community spirit. One of the most prominent landmarks in Fratton is the Fratton Park stadium, which has been the home of Portsmouth Football Club since 1898, and stands as a symbol of the area's resilience and dedication to the sport.
