Description From Owner:
  • The name was first applied to the parish in 1859. It honours Edward George Geoffrey Smith Stanley, 14th Earl of Derby (1799-1869) British prime minister at the time.
  • The earl, while serving his last term as prime minister, 1866-68, is credited with insisting that the title of Canada 'be changed from Kingdom to Dominion (in order not to) wound the sensibilities of the Yankees.'
  • With permission from 'New Brunswick Place Names' David E. Scott 2009
