History

The suburb takes its name from a property name used by James Gordon (1822-1904), Sub-Collector of Customs in Townsville from 1865. The name is probably referring to Cluden Water, a stream in Scotland near his birthplace in Dumfries.The presence of the Cluden railway station (19.31691°S 146.82333°E? / -19.31691; 146.82333? (Cluden railway station (former))) 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.

In the 2011 census, Cluden had a population of 509 people.In the 2016 census Cluden had a population of 427 people.
