Sainte-Anne is a civil parish in Madawaska County, New Brunswick, Canada.^[2]

For governance purposes it is divided between the village of Sainte-Anne-de-Madawaska and the local service district of the parish of Sainte-Anne^[3] (which further includes the special service area of Seigas),^[3] both of which are members of the Northwest Regional Service Commission (NWRSC).^[4]

Origin of name[]

The parish takes its name from the church.^[5]

History[]

Sainte-Anne was erected in 1877 as Saint Ann's Parish from Saint-Basile and Saint-Léonard Parishes.^[6]

In 1920 Sainte-Anne's boundaries were revised.^[7] The same act erected Rivière-Verte Parish from Saint-Léonard, so part of Sainte-Anne may have been included in Rivière-Verte.

In 1922 Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes Parish was erected from part of Sainte-Anne.^[8] The name appeared as Saint Ann in the description of Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes.

In 1946 the name was changed to Sainte Anne and the parish was affected by the major reorganisation of Madawaska County parish boundaries.^[9]

In 1973 the name was legally changed to Sainte-Anne.^[10]
