==History==
Stanmore bay was first settled by European settlers in the 1850s, and was named Glanville's Bay after the early residents. It was renamed Stanmore bay by the Hill family, who called it this after Stanmore in London.<ref name="Grover">{{cite book|title=Why the Hibiscus? Place Names of the Hibiscus Coast|first=Robin |last=Grover |year=2008 |isbn=978-0-473-13484-6 |publisher=Silverdale Printing |pages=23}}</ref> The area was named Stanmore by Walter James Hill son of Henry Hill who emigrated to New Zealand in 1853, because it reminded the family of Stanmore, England where they came from. The Hill family purchased 500 acres to farm but because it was only accessible by boat, they found it difficult to pursue farming there. {{citation needed|date=June 2020}}
