The locality was named for James Erskine Calder, the Surveyor General of Tasmania between 1859 and 1870. It was gazetted as a locality in 1966.[2]
The Inglis River forms most of the western boundary. The Calder River enters the locality in the south-east and flows north-west until it meets the Inglis River.[3]
The C235 route (Calder Road) enters from the north-east and runs south to the centre before exiting to the east as Kellatier Road.[4]
