For governance purposes it is divided between the local service districts of Noonan and the parish of Maugerville[3] (which further includes the special service area of Inner Maugerville), both of which are members of Regional Service Commission 11 (RSC11).[4]

Origin of name

The parish was named for Joshua Mauger, Nova Scotia's agent in England and first name on list of grantees in the township.[5]

History

Maugerville was first established in 1765 as a township of Nova Scotia.[6] The boundaries were significantly different, including part of Sheffield Parish but not extending as far inland.[7]

Maugerville was erected in 1786 as one of Sunbury County's original parishes.[8]

In 1850 Maugerville was extended to the county line, adding unassigned land to its rear.[9]

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