History
The area around Maberly is typical
Canadian Shield consisting mainly of rocky hills and lakes, with little arable land, so it is more suitable for hunting and logging than farming. The first Europeans to settle in the area were
Scottish and
Irish immigrants, who provided most of the placenames. Maberly, however, was named by the Canadian Post Office Department Secretary in 1865 in honour of
William Leader Maberly, his counterpart in the
United Kingdom and the butt of satire in one of
Anthony Trollope's novels.
