History

The name Cudlee Creek is probably derived from the Kaurna word kadli, [3] meaning the Dingo Creek. [4]

The first European inhabitants of Cudlee Creek settled in 1838, when William Kelly, from the Isle of Man, came to the area and established the Sulby Glen estate. A district history states that Sulby Glen was "...well-known for cheese-making. Quite a lot of wheat was grown; fruit trees were planted and a lot of potatoes marketed". It became a significant exporter of apples and pears, and a cold store, built in 1922 for a fruit-growers' cooperative, is the most prominent building in the town. [5] [6]

In 2019, a big bushfire burnt out parts of the town and the areas around it. [7]
