Eldon is a geographic parish in Restigouche County, New Brunswick, Canada. [4]
For governance purposes it is divided between the incorporated rural community of Kedgwick [5] and the Restigouche rural district, [6] both of which are members of the Restigouche Regional Service Commission. [7]
Before the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided into four local service districts and part of another. Mann Mountain was opposite the mouth of the Matapedia River, with Flatlands straddling the eastern border; St. Jean Baptiste – Menneval, White's Brook were both along Route 17, nearer Kedgwick than Campbellton; the LSD of the parish of Eldon comprised the remainder of the parish. [8] In the reform, Kedgwick annexed the community of Wyers Brook, properties on either side of Route 17 south from Glenwood, and all of the parish to the west; [5] the remainder became part of the rural district. [6]
The parish was named in honour of the Earl of Eldon, [9] Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain at the time of its erection.
Eldon was erected in 1827 from Beresford Parish. [10] Eldon comprised Restigouche County west of the Upsalquitch River, with the county line being a prolongation of the western boundary of Northumberland County.
In 1840 the eastern boundary was altered to run due south from the mouth of the Upsalquitch. [11]
In 1852 the western county line was changed to its current location; Eldon's western line moved with it. [12]
In 1879 Eldon was dissolved and its territory added to Addington Parish. [13]
In 1896 Eldon was reërected from Addington, with the eastern line now further east in its modern configuration. [14]
In 1916 the western part of Eldon was erected as Grimmer Parish. [15] Grimmer included what is now Saint-Quentin Parish.
Eldon Parish is bounded: [2] [16] [17]
