Ülenurme Parish (Ülenurme vald)
Ülenurme Parish (Ülenurme vald) was a rural municipality in Tartu County, Estonia, directly south of Tartu.
In 2017 the Government of Estonia (Estonian: Vabariigi Valitsus) decided to merge Ülenurme Parish into Kambja Parish by administrative reform. Ülenurme Parish Council did not wish to voluntarily join, challenging compulsory affiliation to the Supreme Court, but lost their case.
There were four small towns in the rural municipality: Külitse, Räni, Tõrvandi, and Ülenurme. They account for 7/10 of the rural municipality's inhabitants.
Ülenurme got its name from the Ülenurme manor built at the beginning of the 17th century.
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 the Räni has risen rapidly, and they were therefore named small towns in 2013.
The area contains Tartu Airport, where the Estonian Aviation Academy (Estonian: Eesti Lennuakadeemia) operates.
The Tallinn-Tartu-Võru-Luhamaa road, Jõhvi-Tartu-Valga main road, Tartu-Valga railway line, and Tartu-Koidula railway line pass through the area.

The land of what is now modern Estonia has been inhabited by Homo sapiens since at least 9,000 BC. The medieval indigenous population of Estonia was one of the last pagan civilisations in Europe to adopt Christianity following the Papal-sanctioned Livonian Crusade in the 13th century. After centuries of successive rule by the Teutonic Order, Denmark, Sweden, and the Russian Empire, a distinct Estonian national identity began to emerge in the mid-19th century. This culminated in the 24 February 1918 Estonian Declaration of Independence from the then warring Russian and German Empires. Democratic throughout most of the interwar period, Estonia declared neutrality at the outbreak of World War II, but the country was repeatedly contested, invaded and occupied, first by the Soviet Union in 1940, then by Nazi Germany in 1941, and was ultimately reoccupied in 1944 by, and annexed into, the USSR as an administrative subunit (Estonian SSR). Throughout the 1944–1991 Soviet occupation, Estonia's de jure state continuity was preserved by diplomatic representatives and the government-in-exile. Following the bloodless Estonian "Singing Revolution" of 1988–1990, the nation's de facto independence from the Soviet Union was restored on 20 August 1991.
