Can you be more specific please? Where is the town located? State or Province would be helpful. There are many towns named "Stowell" and name for many different reasons. It can be deduced that this town is named for a person with the surname Stowell. Maybe they founded the town, maybe the people in the town named themselves after a Mayor, or someone who helped them survive and thrive. More outlandish, maybe it was a bandit king or gang leader of the area. Those would be the common reasons. There is no way to give an exact reason without the exact location.
