Stellarton is a town in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada. It is adjacent and to the south of the larger town of New Glasgow. In pioneer times the area was called Coal Mines Station, and from 1833 until 1889, it was known as Albion Mines.{{cite web | title=History of Stellarton | work=Town of Stellarton website | url=http://www.stellarton.ca/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=48&Itemid=64 | access-date=2008-10-24}} The town was incorporated as Stellarton in 1889 and owes its name to a specific type of torbanite which came to be known as "stellarite" because of the "stars of fire" given off by its sparky flame.{{cite web | title=Report of Progress - Geological Survey of Canada | work=Google Books | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PCFMAAAAMAAJ&q=stellarite+coal&pg=PA377 | access-date=2008-10-24| last1=Canada | first1=Geological Survey of | year=1870 }}
