Stanley was prospected by John Stanley in 1863, and established as a mining supply center in the 1870s.

Stanley is part of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, created in 1972.  The SNRA is a protected wilderness.  We offer adventurers and sightseers the opportunity to enjoy nature's wonders now and for generations to come.
