For governance purposes it is divided between the town of Nackawic, the village of Millville, and the local service district of the parish of Southampton,[3] all of which are members of Regional Service Commission 11 (RSC11).[4]

Origin of name

When Carleton County was erected in 1832 the new county line went through Northampton Parish. The next year the part of Northampton south of the line was erected as Southampton.[5]

History

Southampton was erected in 1833 from the part of Northampton Parish that was southeast of the Carleton County line.[5]

In 1834 the county line was altered to run along grant lines, adding territory to Southampton.[6]

In 1865 the boundary with Queensbury Parish was altered, removing territory east of the East Branch Nackawic Stream.[7]

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