Prior to the 2023 governance reform, for governance purposes it was divided between the village of Stanley, the incorporated rural community of Upper Miramichi,[3] and the local service district of the parish of Stanley.[4] Upper Miramichi was a member of the Greater Miramichi Regional Service Commission (GMRSC),[5] the others of Regional Service Commission 11 (RSC11).[5]

Origin of name

The parish takes its name from the 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 that promoted settlement of the area.

History

The first iteration of Stanley was erected in 1837 from Douglas and Saint Marys Parishes.[7]

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.

Notes

  1. ^ Mapbook 328 erroneously includes the Drummond grant with Stanley Parish, but cadastral map No. 104 has the correct boundary, as confirmed by Drummond's inclusion in the list of grantees for the Campbell grant.[12]
  2. ^ Both cadastral map No. 114 and mapbook 328 show the Casey grant being part of Saint Marys, although Casey wasn't part of either Loyalist group grant along the Nashwaak. The Casey grant was made in 1811,[13] more than twenty years before Stanley Parish was first erected to encompass the lands of the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia Land Company.
  3. ^ By the magnet of 1846,[14] when declination in the area was slightly more than 18º west of north.[15] The Territorial Division Act clause referring to magnetic direction bearings was omitted in the 1952[16] and 1973 Revised Statutes.[2]
  4. ^ Not including brooks, ponds or coves.
