The suburb sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain in places by Quaternary alluvium, and includes the limestone that gave Canberra its original name "Limestone Plains".
Watson was named after Australia’s third Prime Minister, John Christian Watson, and was gazetted on 7 April 1960. The suburb’s streets honour Australian judges, and the area formerly housed the Canberra Hog Farm and the Starlight Drive‑In cinema.
Watson is bordered by the Federal Highway, meaning the property is located very close to this major road.
