History

The moshav was founded in 1952 by the Hapoel Hamizrachi organization and was settled by Jewish immigrants to Israel from Iraq and Morocco.{{cite news |last1=Avrahami |first1=Reli |last2=Avrahami |first2=Avner |title=Family Affair: The Dadons |date=July 8, 2011 |url=https://www.haaretz.com/1.5025805 |newspaper=Haaretz |access-date=April 23, 2019}} It was originally named "Farwana B", corresponding to the adjacent "Farwana" (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.
