The moshav is one of four settlements in a group: Revaya, Sde Trumot, Tel Teomim, and Rehov. These four settlements were established near one another and form a group together.
History
The moshav was founded in 1952 by the Hapoel Hamizrachi organization and was settled by immigrants to Israel from Iraq and Morocco. It was originally named named "P'rona B", corresponding to the adjacent "P'rona" (Tel Rehov); the name was later changed to Revaya, corresponding to the nearby Revaya spring (the Hebrew word "revaya" means "overflowing" or "saturated").
The moshav accepted some Ethiopian Jews who immigrated to Israel in the 1990s. As of 2000, Revaya encompassed about 2,000 dunams.
