Origin of name

The parish was named in honour of Lord George Sackville,[6] later Secretary of State for the Colonies.

History

Sackville was established in 1772 as a Nova Scotia township.[7]

Sackville was erected as one of Westmorland County's original parishes in 1786[8] with enlarged boundaries; most of the modern town of Shediac was added.

In 1827 the northern part of Sackville was included in the newly erected Shediac Parish.[9]

In 1880 the boundary with Westmorland Parish was altered, adding a large inland area to Sackville.[10]

In 1894 the existing boundaries were made retroactive to the erection of the parish.[11]
