Cardwell is a civil parish[a] in Kings County, New Brunswick, Canada.

History

Cardwell Parish set off from Sussex Parish in 1874: named for Edward Cardwell (1813-1886), Secretary of State for the Colonies from 1864-1874.

Delineation

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

West by Sussex Parish and the east line of lot number twenty-five, granted to Jacob Snider, on the northern side of the Kennebecasis River, above Smith's Creek; north by a line running from the northeast angle of said lot north sixty-six degrees east to the County line; east by the County line, and south by a line commencing at the northwestern angle of lot number seven, granted to Simon Armstrong; thence east following the northern side line of the said grant and its prolongation easterly until it reaches the northeastern angle of lot number eighteen, granted to David Law; thence in a direct line to the northwestern angle of lot number eight, granted to Thomas Nicholson, in Lake block;[b] thence along the northern line of said lot number eight and its eastern prolongation to the County line.

Governance

The entire parish forms the local service district of the parish of Cardwell, established in 1968 to assess for fire protection. Recreational and sports facilities was added to the assessment in 2012. First aid and ambulance services were listed from 1972 until the description was rewritten in 2012.

Notes

  1. ^ Civil parishes served a variety of government functions until 1966, when the new Municipalities Act stripped them of their responsibilities; they continue to provide convenient boundaries for government uses, especially electoral districts and local service districts. Statistics Canada uses civil parishes as census subdivisions for all parts of the province that are not within municipalities and similar entities.
