Saint-Louis (originally Palmerston) is a geographic parish in Kent County, New Brunswick, Canada. [4]

Contents

For governance purposes it is divided between the town of Beaurivage [5] and the Kent rural district, [6] both of which are members of the Kent Regional Service Commission. [7] The rural district areas are Kouchibouguac National Park in the east and the western end of the parish.

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between the local service districts of Saint-Ignace and the parish of Saint-Louis, which included an area with amended services named Canisto Road. [8]

Origin of name

The parish may take its name from the Roman Catholic ecclesiastical parish of Saint-Louis-des-Français.

History

Saint-Louis was erected as Palmerston Parish in 1855 from Carleton Parish. [9] The Saint-Charles River formed the southern boundary of the parish.

In 1857 the northern boundary with Carleton in the eastern end of the parish was altered to run along grant lines. [10]

In 1866 the parish was renamed Saint-Louis. [11]

In 1909 the southern part of Saint-Louis was included in the new parish of Saint-Charles, using the rear line of grants along the Kouchibouguacis River to form much of the boundary. [12]
