History
[edit]Nashwaak was incorporated on January 1, 2023.[1] It encompasses the former village of Stanley, as well as portions of the local service districts of Stanley, Saint Marys, Estey's Bridge, and Douglas.[2]
The Nashwaak River, which runs through the community, was historically a vital transportation route for the Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) people, who used it for trade and communication via portage routes connecting major watersheds, with evidence of their presence in the area dating back at least 11,000 years.
