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

For governance purposes it forms the local service district of the parish of Brunswick,[3] which is a member of Regional Service Commission 8 (RSC8).[4]

Origin of name

In 1835 part of Brunswick was included in the newly erected Chipman Parish.[7]
