The name means Farmland belonging to the Canons of Exeter.

The earliest recorded mention of Stoke Canon is in a charter of King Cnut dating from 1033.

In 1847, a fire destroyed 24 houses in Stoke Canon, including the parsonage house. The fire was caused by a hot cinder blown from one of the railway engines that was passing through the village.

There were two water mills in the village, one producing stone ground flour and the other producing paper.
