Sackville Reach Historic Cemetery, also known as St Thomas Cemetery, is named after the historic St Thomas's church, that once was situated adjacent to the cemetery. This Anglican church building was washed away by the great Hawkesbury River flood of 1867. Today an obelisk marks the site of the original church.

The cemetery was in use from 1827 until 1987. 163 names on 85 headstones are visible on the surviving headstones, among them First Fleeters. It is not known how many monuments were destroyed by numerous floods that have swept through this area.
