Description From Owner:
  • John Anthony was the first settler here in 1760. The place is named for Lord Frederick Arthur Stanley (1841–1908), governor general of Canada from 1888 to 1893.
  • He is remembered for the Stanley Cup, the oldest trophy for which professional Canadian athletes compete. It was first awarded in 1893. Canadian poet and novelist Alden Nowlan (1933–83) spent his boyhood years here.
