A short history of Ulverston
The earliest record of Ulverston is in the Domesday Book, dating from 1086, which gives the name as Ulurestun. The name joins a personal name, either Old Norse Úlfarr or Old English Wulfhere, to the Old English word for a farmstead. Oluestonam appears in 1127 and Uluereston in 1189. The parish church was founded in the 12th century. In 1280 Edward I granted a charter for a market held on Thursdays. Thomas Fell's benefaction led to the founding of Town Bank Grammar School in 1658. A drill hall opened on Victoria Road in 1873 and an infectious disease hospital was built at High Carley in Pennington in 1884. The spelling Ulverstone remained in use until at least 1888. From 1894 to 1974 the town was an urban district of Lancashire.
