For governance purposes it is divided between the Regional Municipality of Tracadie, the Pokemouche 13 Indian reserve, and the local service districts of Evangéline, Inkerman Centre, Landry Office, Maltempec,[lower-alpha 1] and Pokemouche, all of which except the Indian reserve are members of the Acadian Peninsula Regional Service Commission (APRSC).[3]

The local service district of the same name, which included only part of the parish, was incorporated into the Regional Municipality of Grand Tracadie–Sheila on July 1, 2014,[4] causing some misunderstanding of its status.

Origin of name

The parish is named after the Battle of Inkerman in the Crimean War, fought in 1854.[5][6]

History

Inkerman was erected in 1855 from Saumarez Parish.[7]

In 1870 the boundary with Saumarez Parish was adjusted.[8]

In 1881 the western part of Inkerman was included in the newly erected Saint-Isidore.[9]

Delineation

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

North by Caraquet Parish; southeasterly by the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, and westerly by Saumarez Parish, Saint Isidore Parish, and Pacquetville Parish.

A significant portion of Inkerman Parish (approximately 43.7% of its land area) was incorporated into the Regional Municipality of Tracadie in 2014.[10]
