Sainte-Anne Parish, New Brunswick

The parish takes its name from the church.[5]

Sainte-Anne was erected in 1877 as Saint Ann's Parish from Saint-Basile and Saint-Léonard Parishes.[6]

In 1920 Sainte-Anne's boundaries were revised.[7] The same act erected Rivière-Verte Parish from Saint-Léonard, so part of Sainte-Anne may have been included in Rivière-Verte.

In 1922 Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes Parish was erected from part of Sainte-Anne.[8] The name appeared as Saint Ann in the description of Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes.

In 1946 the name was changed to Sainte Anne and the parish was affected by the major reorganisation of Madawaska County parish boundaries.[9]

In 1973 the name was legally changed to Sainte-Anne.[10]
