Origin of name

The parish takes its name from settlement of Stanley, in turn named for Lord Stanley,[6] Secretary of State for War and the Colonies at the time and an early supporter of the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia Land Company.

History

The first iteration of Stanley was erected in 1837 from Douglas and Saint Marys Parishes.[7] The Taxis River formed the northern boundary.

In 1838 Stanley was dissolved.[8]

In 1847 the modern Stanley was erected from Douglas and Saint Marys,[9] expanding to include the northern part of the county.
