Paquetville is a civil parish in Gloucester County, New Brunswick, Canada.[2]

The one regional municipality, two villages, and three local service districts at least party within the parish are all members of the Acadian Peninsula Regional Service Commission (APRSC).[3]

Origin of name[]

The parish may have been named in honour of Joseph-Marie Paquet,[4] a priest influential in New Brunswick church politics[5] and parish priest at Caraquet for two decades before his death in 1869.

History[]

Paquetville was erected in 1897 from Caraquet Parish.[6]

In 1903 the spelling was changed to Pacquetville[7] then changed back in 1941.[8]

Boundaries[]

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

  • on the west and north by a line beginning south of Dunn Pond on the rear line of grants in Tier 1 North of the Allardville East Settlement, which runs along Route 160, and running northeasterly until it reaches the line between two timber blocks southwest of the end of the Val-Doucet Road, then northerly to the westernmost corner of Range 3 of the Paquetville North Settlement, which runs along the north side of Notre-Dame-des-Érables Road and Route 340, then along the rear line of grants to a point west of the prolongation of Théophile Road, then northeast to the mouth of Innishannon Brook on the Caraquet River, then downstream to the eastern line of a grant on grant on the south side of the Caraquet River at a sharp bend, in Bertrand;
  • on the east by a line running along the western line of a tier of grants along Rue Pinet and its prolongation from the Caraquet River to the northern line of grants along Principal Road, then easterly along the tier to the corner of a grant on the south side of Duval Road, then briefly southerly to the rear line of grants along the west side of Lavigne Road, then slightly more southerly along the tier to just short of Paquetville Road, then turning southwesterly and across Route 350 to the Pokemouche River, then across the river to the eastern line of Range Six of the Paquetville South Settlement, which straddles the Pokemouche, and southeasterly to the easternmost corner of the tier;
  • on the south by the southern line of the Range Six grants to the northernmost corner of Range A, then southeasterly along the eastern line of Range A to its easternmost corner, then southwesterly to the southernmost corner of the tier, then southeasterly to the prolongation of the northern line of Tier 1 North in Allardville East Settlement, then southwesterly to the starting point.

Governance[]

The three local service districts provide basic LSD services along with street lighting and community & recreation services.[11]

The Regional Municipality of Tracadie includes the southeastern corner of the parish along the Pokemouche River, an area about 2.1 kilometres long. Route 355 runs briefly along the parish line but otherwise there's no provincial highway access to the area.

The village of Bertrand occupies the northeastern corner of the parish, including the community of Haut-Bertrand.

The village of Paquetville contains a nearly square area along Route 135 where it's met by Rue des Fondateurs and Route 340.

The Paroisse Notre-Dame-des-Érables is an LSD in the northwestern corner of the parish, based on four tiers of grants along Route 340 and the Val-Doucet Road. The eastern boundary along the Route 340 tiers is about 1 kilometres west of Chemin du Portage, and along the Val-Doucet tiers about 700 metres east of the main part of Ruisseau de la Truite Road. The main community is Notre-Dame-des-Érables, with the LSD extending north along Route 340 into Bathurst Parish to include the community of Rocheville. It was established in 1986.[12]

The local service district of the parish of Saint-Isidore includes an area along the southern bank of Trout Brook and the Pokemouche River, running from the Tracadie boundary to a point about 2 kilometres west of Route 135. This area is part of the Bois-Blanc - Hacheyville - Duguayville service area. This LSD was extended into Paquetville Parish in 1994.[13]

The local service district of the parish of Paquetville includes the remainder of the parish, two areas separated by the Paroisse Notre-Dame-des-Érables. The isolated southwestern corner of the parish has no provincial highway access; the main portion contains the communities of Burnsville, Haut-Paquetville, Petit-Paquetville, Saint-Amateur, Trudel, and Val-Doucet; Rang-Saint-Georges is on the southern edge of the village of Paquetville. It was established in 1969 to provide fire protection.[14]

Sainte-Rose was an LSD in the southeasern corner of the parish. Sainte-Rose was established in 1988[15] and in 2014 was annexed to help form the regional municipality of Grand Tracadie-Sheila.[16]
