Cardwell Parish, New Brunswick

The parish was named in honour of Viscount Cardwell, British Secretary of State for War[4] until two months before the parish's erection.

Cardwell was erected in 1874 from Sussex Parish.[5]

Cardwell Parish is defined in the Territorial Division Act[2] as being bounded:

West by Sussex Parish and the east line of lot number twenty-five, granted to Jacob Snider, on the northern side of the Kennebecasis River, above Smith's Creek; north by a line running from the northeast angle of said lot north sixty-six degrees east to the County line; east by the County line, and south by a line commencing at the northwestern angle of lot number seven, granted to Simon Armstrong; thence east following the northern side line of the said grant and its prolongation easterly until it reaches the northeastern angle of lot number eighteen, granted to David Law; thence in a direct line to the northwestern angle of lot number eight, granted to Thomas Nicholson, in Lake block;[lower-alpha 1] thence along the northern line of said lot number eight and its eastern prolongation to the County line.

The entire parish forms the local service district of the parish of Cardwell, established in 1968 to assess for fire protection. Recreational and sports facilities was added to the assessment in 2012. First aid and ambulance services were listed from 1972 until the description was rewritten in 2012.
