Grand Manan is a civil parish in Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada.[2] It includes Grand Manan Island and numerous lesser islands, all but one of which lack permanent year-round inhabitants.

Confusion is sometimes caused by other uses of the name:

  • Grand Manan Island is often shortened to Grand Manan
  • the incorporated village of Grand Manan (which includes all of the parish except White Head Island)
  • the census subdivision of Grand Manan Parish (which includes only White Head Island)
  • most parishes have a local service district (LSD) with the same name as the parish, something Grand Manan has never had

Local governance outside the village is provided by the LSD of White Head Island, which is in the Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission. The LSD was established in 1979.[3] Both village and LSD are members of the Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission (SNBSC).[4]

Origin of name

The parish takes its name from Grand Manan Island, which is often shortened to Grand Manan. Ganong gives the origin of the island's name as Mun-aa-nook', his transcription of the locative form of the Passamaquoddy word for island, combined with the French adjective grand used on some early French maps of the area.[5]

History

The parish was erected in 1816 from West Isles Parish as Grand-Manan, to include "Grand-Manan with its appurtenances".[6]

The hyphen was dropped from the name in 1850[7] and appurtenances was clarified in 1877 as all islands to the south and west of Grand Manan Island;[8] this implicitly added Machias Seal Island to the parish.[a]

Notes

  1. ^ Machias Seal Island is 32 km from Grand Manan Island, perhaps a bit far to be considered an appurtenance.
