Saint Marys is a geographic parish in York County, New Brunswick, Canada. [2]
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, for governance purposes it was divided between the city of Fredericton, [3] the Indian reserve of Devon 30, and the local service district of the parish of Saint Marys, [4] of which the city and the LSD were members of Capital Region Service Commission (RSC11). [5] The LSD includes the special service areas of Evergreen Park and Pepper Creek.
The parish was settled in part by Loyalists from Maryland. [6]
St. Mary's County, Maryland was established well before the American Revolution and may have been the source of some of the Loyalists.
Saint Marys was erected in 1786 as one of York County's original parishes. [7] The parish ran thirty miles inland and extended to the Keswick River.
In 1824 part of Saint Marys was included in the newly erected Douglas Parish. [8]
In 1837 part of Saint Marys was included in the newly erected Stanley Parish. [9]
In 1838 Stanley was dissolved and its territory implicitly returned to its original parishes. [10]
In 1847 part of Saint Marys was included in a new, much larger Stanley Parish. [11]
In 1945 the town of Devon was annexed by Fredericton. [12] The boundary description of Saint Marys in the Territorial Division Act (TDA) implicitly removes the area from Saint Marys but the Fredericton entry in the TDA is not updated.
In 1952 two grants were transferred to Saint Marys from Douglas. [13] The boundary description of Fredericton was also updated, removing any ambiguity. The modern boundaries of Fredericton are not reflected in the TDA, having changed after the last revision of the Act.
