Norton is a geographic parish in Kings County, New Brunswick, Canada. [2]
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, it was divided between the town of Hampton, [3] the village of Norton, [3] and the local service district of the parish of Norton, [4] all of which were members of Kings Regional Service Commission (RSC8). [5]
Norton may have been named for Norton, Massachusetts, near Taunton, which was the original home of many of the first settlers to this area.
Notable is that the names of Kings County's pre-1800 parishes all occur in both New Jersey and North Carolina. [6]
Norton was erected in 1795 [7] from Sussex Parish and Kingston Parish.
In 1844 the boundary with Kingston was adjusted. [8]
Writer Emily Elizabeth Shaw Beavan worked in the parish as a young teacher. [9]
