Stanley is a town and civil parish in County Durham in England. Centred on a hilltop between Chester-le-Street and Consett, Stanley lies south-west of Gateshead.
The town's name is derived from the Old English stān and lēah, meaning "stony woodland clearing".[2]
The local economy was once based on coal-mining and other heavy industries; with their disappearance or substantial decline, Stanley is now primarily a commuter town.[3] Its core began to grow in the nineteenth century through the expansion and merger of the mining villages of East Stanley and West Stanley.[4]
The civil parish, created in 2007,[5][a] incorporates the town of Stanley and the following villages and settlements: to the north of the town centre, Shield Row, Kip Hill, and Causey; to the east, No Place; to the south-east, Bloemfontein, The Middles, and Craghead; to the south, South Moor and Quaking Houses; to the south-west, Oxhill, Catchgate, New Kyo, Greencroft, and Annfield Plain; to the west, West Kyo and Harelaw; and to the north-west, Tanfield Lea, Harperley, White-le-Head, Tantobie, Coppy, Tanfield, and Clough Dene.[7][8]

Although the local economy was historically based on coal mining and other heavy industries, most of these industries have disappeared and the town largely functions as a commuter settlement.
