Burton is a geographic parish in Sunbury County, New Brunswick, Canada. [2]
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, for governance purposes it was divided between the town of Oromocto, the Indian reserve of Oromocto 26, CFB Gagetown, and the local service district of the parish of Burton. [3] The town and LSD were both members of Capital Region Service Commission (RSC11). [4]
The parish was named in honour of Ralph Burton, military commander-in-chief in Montreal at the time of its establishment as a township. [5]
Burton was first established in 1765 as a Nova Scotia township. [6]
Burton was erected in 1786 as one of the original parishes of Sunbury County. [7] The parish extended further inland than the township. [8]
In 1835 the rear of the parish was included in the newly erected Blissville Parish. [9]
In 1896 the boundary with Blissville was altered along the Nerepis Road. [10]
In 1949 the boundary with Blissville was changed back to its pre-1896 course. [11]
