The locality is predominantly on the east side of the highway,[7] however the former railway station and post office on the Peterborough railway line were on the western side of the highway.[4]
Ulooloo was the site of a goldfield in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[8] Today, the major industry is sheep farming,[9] including a Dohne sheep stud.[10]
Ulooloo had two schools: one that operated from 1888 to 1906 and one that operated from 1928 to 1940.[11]
The historic Ulooloo Homesteads, Dairies and Hut are listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.[12]
