Lyneham was gazetted in 1928 but development began in 1958, with the original streets named after artists and early Canberra figures. The area has evolved from 1950s‑60s homes for public servants to a mix of renovated houses, townhouses, and newer flats.
The suburb sits on Silurian calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium. In the north‑west, Ordovician greywacke of the Pittman Formation is also present.
