Downer originated as a CSIRO agricultural research site in the 1930s, even growing opium poppy during World War II. The area was later developed into a residential suburb and named after Sir John Downer, a former South Australian Premier.
The suburb sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium, reflecting the limestone plains that gave Canberra its original name.
