Nomenclature
It has been recorded that:-
On 23 December 1835 the Colonisation Commission issued to Thomas Whistler land orders for three town acres and their accompanying country sections... [he] was allotted country sections 236, 237 and 238... Whistler brought with him in the Fairlie a two-roomed wooden hut which he erected on the banks of Brownhill Creek in that part of his section 236 which is slightly south of Heywood Park... Soon after his arrival [he] subdivided section 238 into one acre lots and gave the Village the name of Unley, concerning the origin of which there has been considerable surmise. Mr Robert Foreman, whose grandfather arrived in the province in 1837, was told by him that the name was "Undley'' but that in local speech the "d'' was omitted. Whistler came from a small town in Suffolk called Lakenheath... and as he used a number of Suffolk names in his subdivisions it is very probable that he had Undley, a hamlet in the parish of Mildenhall and Lakenheath in mind when naming his Village.
General Notes
A public meeting called to discuss "an impassable Unley Road" is reported in the Register,20 September 1851, page 3e,
19 November 1877, page 1c (supp.) for the opening of a new road.
A photographs of wood-blocking is in The Critic,
13 July 1921, page 18.
- The Unley road had been for several years the worst in the vicinity of Adelaide; endeavours to improve it had been made by the inhabitants, but any funds they could raise were totally inadequate for the purpose. They had in vain endeavoured to obtain efficient aid from the government and the road was now in such a plight as to be impassable for vehicles and almost so for horses or foot passengers... Mr Styles said many were, from their inability to work their teams, almost destitute, being obliged to carry themselves through the winter by obtaining credit for the necessities of life. Several had remarked that to him that they and their families must have starved had they not been able to obtain credit at his store...
