Dickson was gazetted in 1928 and originally hosted Canberra’s first aerodrome (1924‑1926). After the aerodrome moved, the area became home to the Dickson Experiment Station and later developed residentially from the late 1950s onward.
The suburb sits on calcareous shales from the Silurian‑period Canberra Formation, often referred to as the limestone of the original ‘Limestone Plains’. In flatter sections, a layer of Quaternary alluvium overlies the shale.
