The town was reportedly named after Stabekk in Bærum in Akershus county, Norway. But Geographical Names of Manitoba[2] says the village of Starbuck, Manitoba, is thought to have been named after the town in Minnesota by a contractor working for the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1885, and that Starbuck, Minnesota, was named after William H. Starbuck of New York, who financed the Little Falls and Dakota Railroad.[3] Some also believe the town's name comes from the oxen used to build the railroad through the town, whose names were Star and Buck.[citation needed]
