Contents

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, for governance purposes it was divided between the village of Chipman and the local service district of the parish of Chipman, [3] both of which were members of Capital Region Service Commission (RSC11). [4]

Origin of name

The parish was named for Ward Chipman Jr., Chief Justice of New Brunswick at the time of its erection. [5]

History

Chipman was erected in 1835 from Brunswick and Canning Parishes. [6]

In 1855 all of Chipman southeast of Coal Creek was transferred to Waterborough Parish. [7]

In 1896 the boundary with Waterborough was altered, parallelling the Brunswick line from the mouth of North Branch Coal Creek to the county line; [8] the lost territory became part of Waterborough.
