Riccarton House was the homestead commissioned by Jane Deans in circa 1855. The Deans brothers, who along with the Gebbies and the Mansons were the second group of Europeans to settle in Christchurch on the same site as the first group in 1843.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Heritage/Chronology/Year/1843.asp )〕 A replica of their original cob cottage is on the grounds. Riccarton House is now a function centre, but has been closed since the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.riccartonhouse.co.nz/riccarton_house/ )〕
The Deans brothers, John and William, named the suburb after the parish in Ayrshire, Scotland, in which they were born. They were also responsible for naming the River Avon after the river of the same name in Lanarkshire, Scotland.
