Watson was named after Australia’s third Prime Minister, John Christian Watson, and the suburb name was gazetted on 7 April 1960. The area once hosted the Starlight Drive‑In cinema on the former hog farm site, which has since been redeveloped into medium‑density housing.
The ground beneath Watson consists of calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain in places by Quaternary alluvium. This includes the limestone that gave Canberra its original name, “Limestone Plains.”
Watson is bordered by the Federal Highway, Phillip Avenue, and Antill Street. Traffic on these routes has increased with the development of nearby Gungahlin.
Watson hosts the Canberra Technology Park, Prime7 television studios, the Academy of Interactive Entertainment, the Canberra Potters Society, a C3 Church, and a BP service station, providing a mix of technological, cultural, and commercial amenities.
