Saint Patrick is a geographic parish in Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada, [4] located west of St. George and Saint Andrews.
For governance purposes, the southeastern corner around Digdeguash and Bethel is part of the incorporated rural community of Eastern Charlotte, [5] with the remainder belonging to the Southwest rural district, [6] both of which are members of the Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission. [7]
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, it comprised a single local service district (LSD), which was a member of the Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission (SNBSC). [8]
The Census subdivision of the same name shares the parish's boundaries. [1]
Historian William F. Ganong believed the name suggested by other Saint names in the area. [9]
Five of the original six mainland parishes of Charlotte County used names of major saints recognised by the Church of England: Andrew (Scotland), David (Wales), George (England), Patrick (Ireland), and Stephen.
Saint Patrick was erected in 1786 as one of Charlotte County's original parishes, [10] including parts of Saint Croix Parish but not all of modern Saint Patrick.
Saint Patrick Parish is bounded: [2] [11] [12]
The southern line of the Cape Ann Association grant in Saint David Parish was prolonged eastward to the Saint John County to provide the northern line of all parishes in the eastern part of Charlotte County; [10] in Saint Patrick's case the line cut through McMinn and south of Birneys Lake. The eastern and southern lines were the same, while the western line ran from north of Libbey Lane straight to Mitchell Brook near Birch Cove, cutting through Saint Croix Parish and putting a strip of southwestern Saint Patrick in Saint Andrews Parish that would be inherited by Saint Croix Parish when it was erected.
In 1814 the parish was extended north to the county line. [13]
In 1856 the northern part of Saint Patrick was erected as Dumbarton Parish. [14]
In 1881 an area around Cathcart Road, Giles Road, and Armstrong Mill Road was transferred to Saint Croix Parish. [15]
In 1896 the southern part of the boundary with Saint Croix was moved west, [16] transferring the remainder of modern Saint Patrick. [a]
In 1958 the boundary with Saint Croix was altered to run entirely along grant lines, transferring small areas to Saint Croix. [17]
The local service district of the parish of Saint Patrick comprised the entire parish. [18]
The LSD was established in 1970 to assess for fire protection. [19] First aid and ambulance services were added in 1975. [20]
In 2022, Saint Patrick assessed for only the basic LSD services of fire protection, police services, land use planning, emergency measures, and dog control. [21] The taxing authority was 516.00 Saint Patrick.
