For governance purposes it is divided between the village of Chipman and the local service district of the parish of Chipman,[3] both of which are members of Regional Service Commission 11 (RSC11).[4]

Origin of name

The parish was named for Ward Chipman Jr., Chief Justice of New Brunswick at the time of its erection.[5]

History

Chipman was erected in 1835 from Brunswick and Canning Parishes.[6]

In 1855 all of Chipman southest of Coal Creek was transferred to Waterborough Parish.[7]

In 1896 the boundary with Waterborough was altered, parallelling the Brunswick line from the mouth of North Branch Coal Creek to the county line;[8] the lost territory became part of Waterborough.
