Downer was gazetted in 1960 and named after Sir John Downer, a former Premier of South Australia and early Australian Senator. The area originally served as a CSIRO agricultural research facility, even growing opium poppies during World War II, and many of the large pine and gum trees date from that era.
The suburb sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This limestone‑based substrate reflects Canberra’s historic nickname, the ‘Limestone Plains’.
