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

For governance purposes it is divided between the village of Rogersville and the local service district of the parish of Acadieville (which further includes the special service area of Acadie Siding), both of which are members of the Kent Regional Service Commission (KRSC).[3]

Origin of name[]

William F. Ganong considered the name's origin to be obviously from Acadie.[4]

History[]

Acadieville was erected in 1876 from Carleton Parish.[5]

Acadieville Parish was first settled in 1868 by Acadian settlers who rushed to claim the provincial Crown Lands after it was revealed that the surveyed route for the Intercolonial Railway would pass through the area.

In 1869, the Intercolonial Railway's route was modified and it was constructed approximately 10 kilometres to the west.

Boundaries[]

Acadieville Parish is bounded:[2][6][7][8]

  • on the northwest by the Northumberland County line;
  • on the east by the eastern line of a grant in Saint-Luc prolonged southerly to the Saint-Louis Parish line and northerly to the Northumberland County line;
  • on the southeast by a line running south 75º 30' west[a] from the corner of a grant west of Route 11 near Saint-Théodule in Saint-Louis Parish to the northern line of Weldford Parish, at a point about 3.25 kilometres west of Route 126;
  • on the south by the northern line of Weldford Parish, which is a line due west from the northernmost corner of the Richibucto 15 Indian reserve;
  • on the west by a line running north 22º west, based on the magnet of 1867,[b] from a point on the Westmorland County line twenty miles (32.2 kilometres) west of the northern tip of Shediac Island.
