The suburb takes its name from a property owned by James Gordon, Sub-Collector of Customs in Townsville from 1865. The name likely refers to Cluden Water, a stream in Scotland near his birthplace in Dumfries.The presence of the Cluden railway station on the North Coast railway line prompted the relocation of the racecourse from central Townsville to a new site near the railway station called Cluden Racecourse to enable people from a wider area to attend the races through the convenience of travelling by rail. The railway station has subsequently closed.
