When the Loyalists moved from the newly independent colonies to British North America, Captain Benjamin Glazier moved in March 1776 to this area and named it Lincoln, as that is where he came from in Massachusetts. Then Upper and Lower Lincoln were created. Then on 18 May 1785 was proclaimed as the Official Birthday of Lincoln. The latter, Upper Lincoln became part of the City of Fredericton, but Lower Lincoln is now only Lincoln and is a Local Service District. A Local Service District (L.S.D.), elects an Advisory committee and advises the Min of Municipal Affairs of what the Citizens would like to have as far as Bylaws and Codes are concerned. As Lincoln has a big Tax Base, due to the Airport, etc.
