==History==
Revesby was named in 1913 in honour of Sir Joseph Banks (1743–1820), the famous botanist who sailed with Captain James Cook on the Endeavour, when he discovered the east coast of Australia in 1770. Banks had inherited his father’s estate of Revesby Abbey, in Lincolnshire England, so he was known as the Squire of Revesby. He is also commemorated in the Sir Joseph Banks High School in Turvey Street.〔''The Book of Sydney Suburbs'', Compiled by Frances Pollon, Angus & Robertson Publishers, 1990, Published in Australia ISBN 0-207-14495-8, page 221〕
Revesby Heights was known as Hero's Hill in recognition of returned service men who obtained affordable government housing in the area. The Hero's Hill servicemans club was founded soon after these returned service men settled in the area after World War II. This club is now known as Revesby Heights Ex-Servicemen's Club.〔http://www.heroshill.com.au/ Revesby Heights Ex-Servicemen's Club〕 This club ceased trading in June 2013.
