For governance purposes it is divided between the village of Blackville and the local service districts of Renous-Quarryville and the parish of Blackville,[3] all of which are members of the Greater Miramichi Regional Service Commission (GMRSC).[4]

Origin of name

The parish was probably named in honour of Hon. William Black, Administrator of the province at the time of its erection.[5]

History

Blackville was erected in 1830 from Ludlow Parish.[6] At the time it extended into modern Kent County, taking in much of Harcourt and Huskisson Parishes.[7]

In 1845 the Kent County line was extended to Sunbury County, transferring the southern part of Blackville to Kent County.[8]
