Havelock is a geographic parish in Kings County, New Brunswick, Canada.[2]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, it comprised the local service district of the parish of Havelock,[3] which further included the western part of the service area of Havelock Inside.[a] The local service district was a member of Kings Regional Service Commission (RSC8).[4]

Origin of name

[edit]

The parish was named in honour of Henry Havelock, commander of British forces at the Siege of Lucknow in 1857, who died shortly after the siege was lifted.[5]

History

[edit]

Havelock was erected in 1859 from the eastern polling district of Studholm Parish.[6]

In 1871 part of Havelock along Windgap Brook was returned to Studholm.[7]

Boundaries

[edit]

Havelock Parish is bounded:[2][8][9]

  • on the northwest by the Queens County line;
  • on the east by the Westmorland County line;
  • on the southeast by a line running north 66º east[b] from the northeastern corner of a grant to Jacob Smith, about 975 metres north of the junction of Plumweseep Road and Back Road;
  • on the west by a line beginning on the Cardwell Parish line near the Old Mine Road west of Dunsinane, then running northwesterly along the prolongation of the southwestern line of a grant to James Caruth, which is on the southern bank of Windgap Brook and on the eastern side of Jordan Mountain Road, until it strikes Windgap Brook, then upstream to the prolongation of Miller Road, then north-northwesterly along the prolongation, the length of Miller Road, and the northerly prolongation of Miller Road until it strikes the Queens County line.
