Uleybury is a rural locality near Adelaide, South Australia. It is located in the City of Playford local government area, just north of One Tree Hill along Gawler-One Tree Hill Road.

History

Uleybury was formed in 1837 when a weaver named Moses Bendle Garlick from Uley in Gloucestershire, England migrated to Australia and settled just north of what is currently Adelaide. He named the settlement Uleybury, after the hill called Uley Bury in his native village. He was a devout Baptist and lay preacher, and built the Uley Chapel in 1851 at a cost of £400. Uleybury School was erected in 1856 on land donated by a local parson, Reverend J P Buttfield, and operated as a church school until 1874, when the Government assumed control of it. It was closed in 1971 and reopened as a museum in 1979.
