Stanley is a city in Custer County, Idaho, United States. The population was 63 at the 2010 census; down from 100 in 2000. The center of population of Idaho in 2000 was located in Stanley.〔(census.gov ) - state centers of population - 2000 - accessed 2011-12-10〕 ==History== Fur trappers of the Hudson's Bay Company discovered the Stanley Basin in the 1820s, but it was mostly avoided due to scarcity of beaver. Captain John Stanley, a Civil War veteran, led a party of prospectors through the area in 1863 (or 1864), but they found little gold and moved on and discovered the Atlanta lode on the south end of the Sawtooths. The site was not considered a town until 1919 when its streets and lots were surveyed and recorded.〔"Idaho for the Curious", by Cort Conley, ©1982, ISBN 0-9603566-3-0, p.188-189〕 Stanley has long been a gathering place for the sparsely populated region. A 2003 memoir by John Rember, ''Traplines: Coming Home to the Sawtooth Valley'' describes life in Stanley and its surrounding area, and the cultural changes connected to the establishment of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. In 2005, Hannah Stouts won the city's mayoral election at age 22 to become the state's youngest elected mayor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stanley, Idaho」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
