History[]

Ulah has, for most of its existence, been a little known community. The origin of the name Ulah may refer to Ulaid,a Gaelic over-kingdom in north-eastern Ireland during the Middle Ages. Ulaid gave its name to the province of Ulster where many settlers of North-Western Piedmont backcountry frontier came from via the Great Wagon road from Pennsylvania.[1]

The Ulah area is home to many people that work in Asheboro, North Carolina.

Future[]

There has been talk about incorporating Ulah. The area is densely populated. If incorporated, Ulah would possibly be a tough competitor for Trinity in the title of second most populated city in Randolph County.
