History of Bankstown

Prior to the European settlement, much of the area was covered by the Turpentine ironbark forest and was inhabited by the Bediagal people.

Bankstown was originally called Bank’s Town, named after Sir Joseph Banks, an explorer who travelled to the country with Captain James Cook in 1770. The suburb was first explored in 1795, and the first town hall and Council Chambers were established on 22 Oct 1989.

In World War II, the Bankstown Airport was established and became significant base support to Australia’s war effort. The airport was handed to US Gen. Douglas MacArthur, where American forces occupied the said area from 1942-1944. In 1945, the British Fleet Air Arm took the responsibility of the airport before it was handed back to the RAAF in 1946. During this time, the RAAF took control of the Capital Hall of the suburb.

It was also during World War II when an industrial revolution took place in Bankstown after the Department of Aircraft Production approved a factory at the airport to manufacture de Havilland Mosquito bombers. Today, over 7,000 businesses are operating in Bankstown.
