Evolution of boundaries

The eastern line of Blackville Parish, prolongated to Westmorland County, was the original eastern line of Ludlow, putting most of Harcourt and Huskisson Parishes in Ludlow. The northern line was further south, putting much of Route 108 in Northesk Parish. In 1830 Ludlow was split three ways, with the eastern part becoming Blackville Parish and the central part becoming Blissfield Parish, while the northern line was moved roughly where it is today. Changes in the wording of the boundary with Northesk Parish and later Southesk Parish in 1850, 1877, and 1954 made little if any difference in the parish line.
