List Of Parishes In New Brunswick
The Canadian province of New Brunswick is divided by the ''Territorial Division Act'' into 152 parishes, units which had political significance as subdivisions of counties until the Municipalities Act of 1966. Parishes still exist in law and include any municipality, rural community, or regional municipality within their borders. They provided convenient boundaries for electoral districts and organising delivery of government services for some time after 1966 but were gradually supplanted for such purposes by local service districts (LSDs), which better represent communities of interest.

Napan, New Brunswick
Napan is a community in the Canadian province of New Brunswick, approximately north of Moncton. It is near Chatham, a neighbourhood of Miramichi, accessible from Highway 11. Running through the community is the Napan River, and four bridges cross the river at various points: at Hannah Lane, Highway 11, Johnston Lane, and Highway 117. There was also once a crossing at White Lane. At one time, these bridges were covered, although all have been upgraded to steel and concrete structures. Once a thriving farming community, the Napan landscape is now dominated by residential dwellings. A handful of small farming operations dot the landscape, but much of the farmland has either been divided into building lots or returned to a forested state. Despite its relatively small size, Napan is home to Carmel United Church, Napan Elementary School (K–5), and the Napan Community Centre (which has hosted the Napan Agricultural Show since 1992 and is the site of many community gatherings).

Chatham is a civil parish in Northumberland County, New Brunswick, Canada. For governance purposes it is divided between the city of Miramichi and the local service district of the parish of Chatham, both of which are members of the Greater Miramichi Regional Service Commission (GMRSC).
