Clayton South’s settlement began in the mid‑1800s, initially used for farming and market gardening on former coastal heathland. The suburb grew significantly after World War II, with industrial developments such as the Volkswagen assembly plant near Westall railway station and later the establishment of the Spring Valley Golf Club.

The suburb hosts substantial industrial facilities, including the Clayton Business Park and companies like McCormick Foods Australia, Goodman Fielder and Viridian Glass. These businesses contribute to the local economy and employment base.
