Dufferin is a civil parish in Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada,[2] located east of St. Stephen. It comprises a single local service district (LSD), which is a member of the Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission (SNBSC).[3]

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

Origin of name[]

The parish was named for the Earl of Dufferin,[a] who was Governor General of Canada at time.[4]

History[]

Dufferin was erected in 1873 from Saint Stephen Parish.[5]

Boundaries[]

Dufferin Parish is bounded:[2][6][7]

  • on the north by the rear line of the tier of grants fronting on the St. Croix River and Pagans Cove;
  • on the east by the mouth of Oak Bay;
  • on the south by the St. Croix River;
  • on the west by the Old Bay Road and Dennis Stream.

Local service district[]

The local service district of the parish of Dufferin comprises the entire parish.[8]

The LSD was established in 1969 to assess for community services,[9] in this case to provide ambulance service after local funeral homes ceased doing so.[10] Fire protection was added in 1970.[11]

Today the LSD assesses for only the basic LSD services of fire protection, police services, land use planning, emergency measures, and dog control.[12] The taxing authority is 509.00 Dufferin.
