The suburb's name was derived from the Greek mythological text Leda and the Swan. The name was approved on 18 March in 1969 and is an allusion to the colonial ship ‘Leda’, which brought settlers to the Swan River in Western Australia in January 1830. Included in the City of Kwinana, the Leda suburb was initially created with other Kwinana suburbs in the 1950s to provide housing for people working in the oil refineries of the Kwinana industrial centre, as established by the Western Australian government for a BP Oil Refinery agreement.

The region was of primarily agricultural use until 1953. Retained historical land sites include Mead Farm, formerly owned by Henry Mead, and Sloan's Cottage, purchased by George Sloan and his spouse Emma Eliza Sloan née Smirk in 1889. Mead Farm was purchased by Henry Mead in 1854 and used for crops and livestock until 1984. Sloan's property was located between the Thomas Peel Estate and the Western Australian coast. After the cottage was built in 1911, the property was cultivated and utilized for growing commercial crops, mainly potatoes and cabbages to provide produce sold to the Fremantle Markets. Sloan's property and farm remained an agricultural community until 1953 to 1954, which was when the 40 acres of land were given to Kwinana council for the construction of a residential suburb. After agricultural activity ceased, from 1961 to 1969 the cottage was occupied by several landowners. During the development of the Leda town facilities and houses, it became disused, vandalised and listed for demolition. From 1973 to 1978, the building was rebuilt through a government grant for historical preservation as was suggested by Wally Procter, deputy Mayor of Kwinana in 1975. The cottage received heritage listing by the government of Western Australia in 1992. The area, then known as Cockburn Location 279, is now encompassed by the east part of the Leda Nature Reserve as of 1992. In 1994, Sloan's property and the surrounding land became classified as having high biodiversity value and repurposed for conservation. From 1992, the surrounding gardens were used for Permaculture, with an aim to improve soil quality and foster the growth of native flora.
