Origin of name

William F. Ganong omitted Ludlow from his monograph on placenames of the province.[5]

The Ludlow brothers were prominent Loyalist judges and members of the Executive Council of New Brunswick. George Duncan was appointed first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New Brunswick,[6] while younger brother Gabriel George was first Mayor of Saint John;[7] both died in 1808. Carleton Parish, named for their political ally Thomas Carleton, first Governor of New Brunswick, was erected simultaneously.[8]

History

Ludlow was erected in 1814 from the western edge of Newcastle Parish and unassigned territory.[8]

In 1830 Blackville and Blissfield Parishes were erected from Ludlow and the northern boundary with Northesk Parish was adjusted.[9]

Delineation

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

West and south by the County lines; north by Southesk Parish; and east by a line running north and south from the mouth of Big Hole Brook.

The west and south county lines separate Ludlow from Stanley Parish, and the east line separates Ludlow from Blissfield Parish.
