Clarendon is a civil parish in Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada,[2] located in the interior to the north of Point Lepreau and southwest of CFB Gagetown. It comprises a single local service district (LSD), which is a member of Regional Service Commission 11 (RSC11).[3]

The Census subdivision of the same name shared the parish's boundaries.[1]

Origin of name[]

The parish was named for Clarendon Settlement, which in turn was named in honour of the Earl of Clarendon, British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs at the time of it being laid out.[4]

History[]

Clarendon was erected in 1869 from Lepreau and Pennfield Parishes.[5]

The area was first laid out for settlement in 1856,[6] with the Clarendon Settlement being largest. Much of the parish was never surveyed for settlement, most of the surveyed lots were never granted, and many granted lots were later reconveyed to the Crown.[7]

In 1868 the Clarendon District was created as a polling district taking in the northern part of Lepreau and Pennfield Parishes.[8]

Boundaries[]

Clarendon Parish is bounded:[2][9][10]

  • on the north by the Sunbury and Queens County lines;
  • on the east by Queens County;
  • on the south by a due west line from the southernmost corner of Queens County;
  • and on the west by the prolongation of the eastern line of grants that cross Lake Utopia.

Local service district[]

The local service district of the parish of Clarendon comprises the entire parish.[11]

The LSD was established in 1975 to assess for fire protection;[12] recreational and sport facilities was added in 2008.[13]

Today the LSD assesses for community & recreation services in addition to the basic LSD services of fire protection, police services, land use planning, emergency measures, and dog control.[14] The taxing authority is 507.00 Clarendon.
