Bankstown, Administrative district in Sydney, Australia
Canterbury-Bankstown covers 110 square kilometers south of Sydney, forming the second largest local government area in New South Wales.
The District of Bankstown received its name in 1797 from Governor Hunter to honor botanist Sir Joseph Banks, who contributed to Australian exploration.
