Evidence of [[Bronze Age]], [[Roman Britain|Roman]], and [[Anglo-Saxon]] activity, including coins, jewellery and axes, has been discovered locally. The area was first mentioned in the [[Domesday Book]] of 1086 when it was a large estate which included neighbouring [[Cheadle, Greater Manchester|Cheadle]]. In the early 14th century it was split into southern and northern parts at about the future locations of Cheadle Hulme and Cheadle, respectively. The area was acquired by the Moseley family in the 17th century and became known as Cheadle Moseley. Unlike many English villages it did not grow around a church; instead it formed from several hamlets, many of which retain their names as neighbourhoods within Cheadle Hulme. In the late 19th century Cheadle Hulme was united with Cheadle, [[Gatley]] and other neighbouring places to form the [[Urban district (Great Britain and Ireland)|urban district]] of [[Cheadle and Gatley]]. This district was abolished in 1974 and Cheadle Hulme became a distinct place in its own right, as part of the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport.
