Origin of name

The parish may have been named after one of two brothers: Jonathan Peel, Secretary of State for War when the parish was created, or Robert Peel, who was twice Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.[4]

History

Peel was erected in 1859 from Brighton Parish.[5]

In 1863 the northeastern part of Peel was included in the newly erected Aberdeen Parish.[6]
