The local service district (LSD) and Census subdivision of the same name have the same boundaries as the parish.[3]

The LSD is a member of the Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission (SNBSC).[4]

Origin of name

Ganong believed the name suggested by other Saint names in the area.[5] Five of the original six mainland parishes of Charlotte County used names of major saints recognised by the Church of England: Andrew (Scotland), David (Wales), George (England), Patrick (Ireland), and Stephen.

History

Saint Patrick was erected in 1786 as one of Charlotte County's original parishes.[6] The northern boundary was south of Birneys Lake and the parish included parts of modern Saint Croix Parish.

In 1814 the parish was extended north to the county line,[7] adding most of modern Dumbarton Parish.

In 1856 the northern part of Saint Patrick was erected as Dumbarton Parish.[8]

In 1881 part of the parish in its northwestern corner was added to Saint Croix Parish.[9]

In 1896 the boundary with Saint Croix was altered, exchanging small areas.[10]

In 1958 the boundary with Saint Croix was altered to run entirely along grant lines, exchanging small areas.[11]

Delineation

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