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 ...

Simonds Parish, St John County
Simonds is a civil parish in Saint John County, New Brunswick, Canada. For governance purposes it is divided between the local service districts of Fairfield and the parish of Simonds, both of which are members of the Fundy Regional Service Commission (FRSC). Contrary to the map image on this page, Simonds does not and never has included the City of Saint John within its boundaries, although Saint John did annex part of Simonds in 1967. Origin of name The parish may have been named in honour of Charles Simonds, Speaker of the House of Assembly when the parish was erected, or his family, who were prominent in the early history of the province. History Simonds was erected in 1839 from Portland Parish. In 1902 an error in the boundaries of Saint John was corrected, returning part of Simonds. The error occurred in 1889 when Saint John was amalgamated with Portland Parish and its boundary description was rewritten, misstating the boundary at Drurys Cove. In 1973 the territor ...
