Harvey is a geographic parish in southern Albert County, New Brunswick, Canada. [4]

Contents

For governance purposes, Harvey is divided between the village of Fundy Albert [5] and the Southeast rural district, [6] both members of the Southeast Regional Service Commission. [7]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish formed a single local service district, the LSD of the parish of Harvey. [8]

Origin of name

The parish was probably named in honour of Sir John Harvey, Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick 1837-1841. [9]

History

Harvey Parish was erected in 1838 from western Hopewell and southern Salisbury Parishes. [10] It included modern Alma Parish and the southern part of Elgin Parish.

Boundaries

Harvey Parish is bounded: [2] [11] [12]

Evolution of boundaries

Harvey's northern line was originally an extension of the northern line of Hopewell Parish, [10] running north of Church Hill Road. This put Church Hill, Churches Corner, Ferndale, River View, and Ross Corner in Harvey.

Following the erection of Albert County in 1845 [17] the new county line passed through Salisbury and Harvey Parishes. This was found inconvenient and the county line was moved in 1846, [18] adding the remainder of modern Elgin Parish to Harvey.

The northern part of Harvey was erected as Elgin Parish in 1847 [19] and the western part as Alma Parish in 1855, [20] giving the parish its modern boundaries.

In 1877 Grindstone Island was omitted from the boundary description of Harvey; [13] this was corrected in 1879. [21]

Local service district

The local service district of the parish of Harvey included the entire parish. [22] The LSD was established on 23 November 1966 to assess for fire protection [23] following the abolition of county councils in the new Municipalities Act. First aid & ambulance services were added on 21 January 1976. [24]

In 2020, it assessed for community & recreation services in addition to the basic LSD services of fire protection, police services, land use planning, emergency measures, and dog control. [25] The taxing authority was 617.00 Harvey.

Notes

  1. By the magnet of 1847, [13] when declination in the area was between 19º and 20º west of north. [14] The Territorial Division Act clause referring to magnetic direction bearings was later changed to the problematic wording "by the magnet of the year in which the County or Parish was erected", [15] which ignores lines changed after the erection of the county or parish, before being omitted in the 1952 [16] and 1973 Revised Statutes. [2]
  2. By the magnet of 1838, [13] when declination in the area was between 18º and 19º west of north. [14]
  3. Not including brooks, ponds or coves.
