The development of Palmerston's eastern suburbs did not start in the 1990s as designed in 1984 and the suburb of Gunn of 1998 was larger. It was decided in 1999 to allocate a new name to the area of Gunn between the old and new Stuart Highway alignments.
The suburb is named after John Farrar, a pastoral pioneer of the Northern Territory.
