Downer originated as a CSIRO agricultural research site in the 1930s and was used for opium poppy cultivation during World War II. Many of the large pine and gum trees around the area date from that era and were planted as windbreaks.
The suburb sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This limestone‑based geology reflects Canberra’s historic nickname, the "Limestone Plains".
