History

The name "Wheatley" means 'Wheat wood/clearing'. [1] Wheatley was recorded in the Domesday Book as Watelag/Watelage. [2]

Wheatley was historically a hamlet within the ancient parish of Doncaster, although it was sometimes described as an extra-parochial tract. From 1866 Wheatley was a civil parish in its own right. [3] [4]

When elected parish and district councils were established in 1894, Wheatley was given a parish council and included in the Doncaster Rural District. In 1900 the parish was removed from the rural district to become its own urban district. The parish and urban district were abolished on 9 November 1914 when the area was absorbed into the borough of Doncaster. [5] [6] In 1911 (the last census before the parish was abolished) it had a population of 5,363. [7]
