Pokemouche, New Brunswick
Pokemouche () is a Canadian local service district in Gloucester County, in the northeast of New Brunswick, in the Acadian peninsula. It includes the communities of Cowans Creek, Pokemouche, and Upper Pokemouche. Despite its population of only 518 inhabitants, the LSD plays an important role in transportation, the economy and culture of the region, and it is the site of several major projects. The area around Pokemouche has been occupied for at least four thousand years by the Paleo-Indians, and for at least years by Mi'kmaq people, who now have a settlement at the Burnt Church First Nation. The current village was founded in 1812. Its main industry was originally forestry, but agriculture, as well as tourism centred on the Pokemouche River, now make up most of the local economy. A revival of the textile industry is also being considered. Etymology The name “Pokemouche” comes from the Mi'kmaq language word “Pokomújpetúák” in the Francis-Smith orthography, pro ...

Local Service District (New Brunswick)
A local service district (LSD) is a provincial administrative unit for the provision of local services in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. LSDs relate to areas of the province's former county municipalities that were not incorporated as municipalities around centres of population. They are defined in law by the ''Local Service Districts Regulation'' of the ''Municipalities Act''. In 2017, the ''Municipalities Act'' was replaced by the ''Local Governance Act'', which continued the ''Local Service Districts Regulation''. LSDs are operated by provincial staff. Residents have the opportunity to serve in an advisory capacity to provincial staff. As management units collectively referred to as unincorporated areas, application of the LSD concept has evolved to fit changes in communities over time, and they define their communities to varying degrees. For example, sub-units of the LSD make it possible to have separate taxing units within a LSD where one area may have grown to ha ...

Located in the northeastern corner of the province at the end of the Acadian Peninsula, the parish consists of the three main islands of Taylor, Lamèque, and Miscou, along with several smaller islands and tidal wetlands; Taylor Island is now joined to the mainland by an isthmus, which is crossed by a causeway.
