Balmoral is a civil parish in Restigouche County, New Brunswick, Canada.[2]

For governance purposes it is divided between the villages of Atholville, New Brunswick,[3] Balmoral,[3] and Eel River Crossing;[3] the Indian reserve of Moose Meadows 4; and the local service districts of Balmoral-St. Maure, Blair Athol, and the parish of Balmoral,[4][a] all of which except the Indian reserve are members of the Restigouche Regional Service Commission (RRSC).[6]

Origin of name

The parish may have gotten its name from Balmoral Castle, Scotland, increasingly used by Queen Victoria at the time. William F. Ganong had no idea of its origin, noting only that there was a place of that name in Scotland.[7]

History

Balmoral was erected in 1896 from Dalhousie Parish.[8]

Delineation

Balmoral Parish is defined in the Territorial Division Act[2] as being bounded:

West by Addington Parish; north by Dalhousie Parish; south by Northumberland County line, and east by the southern prolongation of the eastern line of Dalhousie Parish.
