Downer was originally a CSIRO agricultural research site in the 1930s and later grew opium poppies during World War II. Its historic buildings now form the community centre and shops, many of which were refurbished in the late 2010s.
The suburb sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium – the limestone that gave Canberra its original name, "Limestone Plains".
