History of Unley

The aboriginal people of the Kaurna Tribe were known to be the first inhabitants of Unley. These people were driven away by the arrival of European migrants in the mid-19th century. The area around Unley was particularly attractive for these settlers because of its rich natural resources. These early settlers include people from the United Kingdom of Great Britain, Ireland, and few German-speaking countries.

What used to be a good farming region eventually became a bustling commercial hub as the people cleared forests, vineyards, and orchards to make way for various commercial establishments. The farming industry which Unley was famous for is gone and you can rarely see sheep and cattle farms anymore.

Around 1857, the region was finally recognised as Unley — which comes from the family name of Thomas Whistler’s wife. Thomas and his kin were the first owners of the land. The first post office in the area opened on 17 January 1850.

Some of the notable residents of Unley include John Lorenzo Young who is the founder of the Adelaide Education Institution and Seth Ferry who is a prominent dealer of horses in the state.
