Salisbury is a civil parish in Westmorland County, New Brunswick, Canada.[2]

For governance purposes it is divided between the villages of Petitcodiac and Salisbury;[3] the local service district of the parish of Salisbury,[4] and the special service area of Havelock Inside which extends from the LSD of the parish of Havelock.

All governance units are members of the Southeast Regional Service Commission.[5]

Origin of name[]

The origin of Salisbury's name is uncertain.

William F. Ganong states it was "perhaps" due to it extending nearly to Salisbury Bay,[6] a former name of Rocher Bay.[7]

The Provincial Archives of New Brunswick gives two possibilities: Sir John Salbusbury, who accompanied Edward Cornwallis on his mission to establish Nova Scotia; or Salisbury, a city in Wiltshire, England.[8]

History[]

Salisbury was erected in 1787 from unassigned land west of Hillsborough, Hopewell, and Moncton Parishes.[9]

In 1838 part of Salisbury was included in the newly erected Harvey Parish.[10]

In 1845 Albert County was erected from Westmorland County;[11] the county line ran through Salisbury.

In 1846 the county line with Albert was moved to its present location; the part of Salisbury south and east of the new line is transferred to Coverdale and Harvey Parishes.[12]

In 1894 the existing boundaries of Salisbury were declared retroactive to its erection.[13]
