Downer was originally an agricultural research site for the CSIRO, used between 1939‑1945 for opium poppy cultivation. The surrounding large pine and gum trees were planted at that time as windbreaks, many of which have since been replaced.
The suburb sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This limestone‑rich geology reflects Canberra’s original nickname, the ‘Limestone Plains’.
