The suburb sits on Silurian calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium – the limestone that gave Canberra its original name “Limestone Plains”. Greywacke from the Ordovician Pittman Formation occurs in the north‑west part of the suburb.
Lyneham was gazetted as a suburb in 1928, with development beginning in 1958. It is named after Sir William Lyne, who served as Premier of New South Wales from 1899 to 1901.
