The village was a separate community in the 1890s which later became part of Coaticook municipality.
Located on the Canada–United States border, in front of the town of Norton (Essex County, Vermont); Stanhope spans its residential area on a main road west of the Coaticook River, nearby the Montreal-Sherbrooke-Portland rail.[2] To the east is located the now defunct Stanhope Airport and, on the Quebec Route 147, the border control station.[3]
The village is 6 km far from Dixville, 14 from Coaticook, 24 from Canaan (Vermont), 27 from Stewartstown (New Hampshire), 30 from Brighton (Vermont) and 50 from Sherbrooke.
The village had a small private airport, is crossed by the Quebec Route 147 and by the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad.
