Spence was originally named after William Spence, a founder of the Australian Workers' Union and a member of the first Australian House of Representatives. In 2023 the suburb was co‑named to also honour suffragette Catherine Helen Spence.
Spence is adjacent to the suburbs of Fraser, Melba and Evatt.

The neighbourhood oval bordering Clarey Crescent lies close by, and the suburb’s water tower set into a hill in the north‑west provides additional open space.
