Gowrie is named after Brigadier‑General Alexander Gore Arkwright Hore‑Ruthven, the 1st Earl of Gowrie, who was Governor‑General of Australia from 1936‑1944. The area was formerly the site of the Athllon Homestead, and many streets honor Australian Defence Force members who received decorations such as the Victoria Cross.
The western side of Gowrie sits on Deakin Volcanics green‑grey and purple rhyodacite, while the eastern side rests on green‑grey, purple and cream rhyolite. These Silurian‑age rocks are about 414 million years old.
