Downer was gazetted in 1960 and named after Sir John Downer. The area originally housed a CSIRO agricultural research facility and was used for opium poppy cultivation during World War II; many of the large pine and gum trees date from that period.
The site rests on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium, part of the limestone plains that gave Canberra its original name, “Limestone Plains.”
