Perth is a geographic parish in Victoria County, New Brunswick, Canada. [2]

Contents

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, for governance purposes it was divided between the village of Perth-Andover, the Indian reserve of Tobique 20, and the local service district of the parish of Perth. [3] The village and LSD were both members of the Western Valley Regional Service Commission (WVRSC). [4]

Origin of name

Sir Archibald Campbell, then Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick, was born at Glen Lyon, Perthshire, Scotland. Another possible origin is that local Scotch settlers named it for the city of Perth, Scotland. [5]

History

Perth was erected in 1833 in Carleton County from Kent Parish. [6] The parish included all of modern Victoria County east of the Saint John River and south of the Grand Falls.

In 1850 Victoria County was erected from Carleton County; the new county line ran through Perth, removing part of the parish. [7]

In 1853 all of Perth north of the Tobique Indian Reserve was included in the newly erected Grand Falls Parish. [8]

In 1854 the county line was moved to the pre-1850 southern line of Perth. [9]

In 1864 the eastern part of Perth was included in the newly erected Gordon Parish. [10] Three months later the pre-1854 county line was restored. [11]
