Red Hill is a historic Canberra suburb named after the ridge to its west; the area was established in the 1920s, features garden‑city planning, and includes heritage‑listed sites such as Calthorpes' House.
The ridge that defines Red Hill is an erosion residual of metamorphosed sedimentary rock, with red terra rossa soils and a Silurian tonalite intrusion underlying the nearby Federal Golf Course.
