History
The suburb was named after Major Thomas O'Halloran, the first Police Commissioner of South Australia. Majors Road, which runs through the suburb, was also named in his honour.
In pre-European times this area, along with most of the Adelaide plains, was inhabited by the Kaurna tribe. During the suburbs early years there was conflict wit the local Kaurna due to their tradition of burning off scrub in the foothills to encourage game, as the fires tended to cause considerable damage to local farmland.
Fun Facts
North of Majors Road and extending into adjacent suburbs of Trott Park and Seaview Downs is the 293 hectares (720 acres) O'Halloran Hill Recreation Park which contains walking trails through remnant bush and farm ruins.
East of Main South Road is a large area of privately owned land use for horse agistment.
West of South Road is 200 hectares (490 acres) of farm land and commercial vineyards (Glenthorne Estate) now owned by the University of Adelaide.
O'Halloran Hill housing is a wedge shaped division which, apart from its southern boundary with Reynella East, is isolated from other suburban housing by the Glenthorne Estate and the Happy Valley Reservoir that has resulted in a relatively low crime rate in comparison to surrounding suburbs.
O'Halloran Hill was also the former site of the Greater Uniton Drive-In known as the 'Star-line' which was the only drive-in theatre to overlook the lights of Adelaide.
