Seven Hills, popularly known as ‘Sevo’, is a suburb of the City of Blacktown.When white men first arrived, the district was covered in open forest. A clan of the Dharug tribe, probably part of the Toogagal or Toongabbie clan, were the original inhabitants of the land. The Weymaly (Warmuli) or Prospect clan was the other local Aboriginal group.On 22 April 1788 – within four months of the settlement at Port Jackson – Governor Phillip and party reached Prospect Hill, from where they would have seen what was to become the suburb of Seven Hills.
