Addington is a civil parish in Restigouche County, New Brunswick, Canada.[2]
For governance purposes it is divided between the city of Campbellton, the villages of Atholville and Tide Head, and the local service districts of Flatlands, Glencoe, and the parish of Addington,[3] all of which are members of the Restigouche Regional Service Commission (RRSC).[4]
Origin of name[]
The parish was named in honour of Henry Unwin Addington, a diplomat who was appointed in 1826 as a plenipotentiary in the boundary negotiations with the United States.[5][6] He was the nephew of Henry Addington, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom 1801–1804.
The other plenipotentiary in 1826 was William Huskisson, for whom Huskisson Parish in Kent County was named at the same time.
History[]
Addington was erected in 1827 in Gloucester County from Beresford Parish.[7] The parish comprised the area north of the prolongation of the southern line of modern Beresford and between the Benjamin and Upsalquitch Rivers.
In 1840 Restigouche County was reorganised following its erection. Addington was reduced to its modern eastern boundary while having its western boundary changed to a line due south from the mouth of the Upsalquitch River.[8]
In 1879 Eldon Parish was dissolved and the area added to Addington.[9]
In 1896 Eldon was reërected with altered boundaries, giving Addington its modern boundaries.[10]

Addington Parish is bounded:[2][11][12]

- on the east by a line running true south from the most eastern point of the western side of the mouth of Walkers Brook, which runs through Campbellton;
