The community of Taxis River is wholly in York County, New Brunswick. The following Information was gleaned from a newspaper called, Taxis River Gazette, that was published by the Taxis River School with the funds raised to go to The Red Cross to aid the war effort. This issue was #3 dated March 20, 1946 Taxis River The name of Taxis River was derived from the name Tex. Speare Tex was an Indian who had his encampment on the shore of the river which was later called Taxis River. The name Tex was usually pronounced Tax. One of the oldest residents of our community, Mr. Herbert Hinchey, has seen the remnants of the old fireplace and parts of the dwelling in which Speare Tex lived. These were located on the lower end of the intervale now owned by Mr. Allister MacMillan. The hunting grounds of Speare Tex included both sides of the Taxis River in this area. At that time the intervales were covered by trees.
This is my assumption only but I believe the original spelling was Tex's River, pronounced Tax's River, and the apostrophe later slipped down to form an "i" and became Taxis River.
I obtained these copies of the newspapers from my Aunt Noreen Addie (Munn) Nason who assisted in making up these papers in 1946. Copies have been deposited in the New Brunswick Archives.

York North is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada. It was first created in the 1973 out of the old two member district of York by taking those parts of York County outside the city of Fredericton and north of the Saint John River. The districts boundaries were significantly altered in 1994 — losing the villages of Nackawic, Millville and surrounding communities — and its name was changed to Mactaquac as a result. In 2006, its boundaries were restored to nearly its original configuration and though the Electoral Boundaries Commission did not recommend a name change, the legislature later decided to revert it to its original name as well.

A local service district (LSD) was a provincial administrative unit for the provision of local services in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. LSDs originally covered areas of the province that maintained some services but were not made municipalities when the province's former county municipalities were dissolved at the start of 1967; eventually all of rural New Brunswick was covered by the LSD system. They were defined in law by the Local Service Districts Regulation of the Municipalities Act. In 2017, the Municipalities Act was replaced by the Local Governance Act, which continued the Local Service Districts Regulation.
