McKellar is named after Colin McKellar, who served as Minister for Repatriation from 1964 to 1970. The suburb name was officially gazetted on 15 January 1974, and its streets honour journalists, with Dumas Street being the main thoroughfare.
The suburb sits on a porphyry of green‑grey dacitic intrusive rock that contains large white feldspar crystals. This formation is intruded in the southern part by a band of Glebe Farm Adamellite.
Within about 0.5 km you’ll find the suburb centre of McKellar and the Belconnen United FC football club. A natural heritage site, the Synemon Plana moth habitat, lies 0.9 km away, and the neighbouring suburb of Lawson is approximately 1.0 km distant.
