Ülenurme Parish Council did not wish to voluntarily join, challenging compulsory affiliation to the Supreme Court, but lost their case.

Due to the proximity to the city of Tartu, a large-scale real estate development took place in Ülenurme during the economic boom, resulting in the new housing estates of Männi, Aasa and Mõis.

Due to this, the number of residents of the village and Räni has risen rapidly, and they were therefore named boroughs in 2013.

The Ilmatsalu River and Porijõgi flow through the valley located in Ülenurme Parish.
