Saint-Louis (originally Palmerston) is a civil parish in Kent County, New Brunswick, Canada.[2]

For governance purposes it is divided between the village of Saint-Louis de Kent and the local service districts of Saint-Ignace and the parish of Saint-Louis (which further contains the special service area of Canisto Road), all of which are members of the Kent Regional Service Commission (KRSC).[3]

Origin of name[]

The parish may take its name from the Roman Catholic ecclesiastical parish of Saint-Louis-des-Français.

History[]

Saint-Louis was erected as Palmerston Parish in 1855 from Carleton Parish.[4]

In 1857 the boundary with Carleton was altered to run along grant lines.[5]

In 1866 the parish was renamed Saint-Louis.[6]

In 1909 part of Saint-Louis was included in the new parish of Saint-Charles.[7]

Boundaries[]

Saint-Louis Parish is bounded:[2][8][9][10]

  • on the west and north by a line beginning on the shore of Kouchibouguac Bay at the prolongation of the southern line of a grant about 1.5 kilometres south of the mouth of Ruisseau des Major in Kouchibouguac National Park, then running southwesterly along the grant line and its prolongation past Ruisseau des Major to the southernmost corner of the second grant, then northerly to the southern line of a grant straddling the Kouchibouguac River, then along the southern lines of five river grants until it strikes the prolongation of the starting grant line, then westerly along the prolongation to Route 134, then northwesterly along Route 134 to the southern line of Kouchibouguac River grants, then southwesterly along the northern line of two grants on either side of Route 11 and a third grant, to the northwestern corner of the third grant, then south seventy-five degrees and thirty minutes west[a] to the northern line of Weldford Parish, at a point about 3.25 kilometres west of Route 126;
