Tea Tree Gully was originally known as 'Steventon' as a local resident, John Stevens, was a major landowner in the area. Whilst the area name has changed, Steventon remains today as one of the single 'Wards' (or electoral sub-division) of the City of Tea Tree Gully.


The Gully to which the city name refers actually exists and is known to be sizable as it provided a gradient negotiable only by bullock wagons travelling through the Mt. Lofty Ranges. Additionally the Gully had permanent freshwater springs which promoted the growth of tea trees in the area - thus the eventual name 'Tea Tree Gully'.


The area was originally part of the Highercombe District Council, and Tea Tree Gully became the name of a smaller Council in October, 1858, when the original Highercombe District Council was split in two. When the two district councils were re-united in May, 1935, the new Council was named Tea Tree Gully and is known today as the City of Tea Tree Gully.
