An unincorporated community located at the south east boundary of New Glasgow. It may have been so named because of a priest who lived here. Settlement in this area probably began as a result of the establishment of Standard Clay Products Ltd. in the early twentieth century.
On May 12, 1913, the Priestville school section was created and a school was built that year to serve an increasing number of people attracted by the clay works. A new 2-room school was built in 1944. Dwelling count is 176 (2006).
