Lincoln 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 city of Fredericton and the local service districts of Rusagonis-Waasis and the parish of Lincoln, [3] all of which were members of Capital Region Service Commission (RSC11). [4]
The parish may have been named for its proximity to York County, as the traditional English counties of Lincolnshire and Yorkshire shared a border. [5]
Another possible source is Lincoln, Massachusetts, former home of Captain Benjamin Glasier whose family settled there in March 1776 as the American War of Independence was beginning. [6]
Lincoln was erected in 1786 as one of Sunbury County's original parishes. [7] It extended to Charlotte County and included most of Gladstone Parish.
In 1835 the rear of the parish was included in the newly erected Blissville Parish. [8]
