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. Local governance reforms scheduled for 1 January 2023 will abolish the local service district as a unit of governance but this will not affect the existence of civil parishes. Parishes are still usedAs of July 2021, by more than a dozen Acts and more than fifty Regulations. to describe legal boundaries for health administration judicial matters, agricultural boards, and some other entities; highwa ...

Cornhill, New Brunswick
Cornhill, formerly spelt Corn Hill, is a community in Kings County near the villages of Havelock and Three Rivers in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. The first settlers of Cornhill were loyalists mainly from the United Kingdom. These settlers would work the land and make way for future generations of Cornhill families. Cornhill was originally called "The Ridge". In the mid 19th century the name was changed to Corn Ridge and by 1890 was again changed to Corn Hill. The name may have come from the Cornhill area of Northumberland, England. Cornhill is also a well known street in London upon which the Bank of England stands. The first settlers of Cornhill were given grants from the government to own land wherein they had to undertake certain objectives to retain the land. The grantee had to clear ten acres of land within 3 years and build a residence of certain dimensions. The farmers also had to make a certain amount of roadway per year.

Magnetic Declination
Magnetic declination, or magnetic variation, is the angle on the horizontal plane between magnetic north (the direction the north end of a magnetized compass needle points, corresponding to the direction of the Earth's magnetic field lines) and true north (the direction along a meridian towards the geographic North Pole). This angle varies depending on position on the Earth's surface and changes over time. Somewhat more formally, Bowditch defines variation as “the angle between the magnetic and geographic meridians at any place, expressed in degrees and minutes east or west to indicate the direction of magnetic north from true north. The angle between magnetic and grid meridians is called grid magnetic angle, grid variation, or grivation.” By convention, declination is positive when magnetic north is east of true north, and negative when it is to the west. ''Isogonic lines'' are lines on the Earth's surface along which the declination has the same constant value, and line ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
