Dufferin is a geographic parish in Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada,^[4] located east of St. Stephen.

For governance purposes, the entire parish is part of the town of the Municipal District of St. Stephen,^[5] which is a member of the Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission.^[6]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, it comprised a single local service district (LSD), which was a member of the Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission (SNBSC).^[7]

The Census subdivision of the same name shares the parish's boundaries.^[1]

Origin of name

The parish was named for the Earl of Dufferin,^[a] who was Governor General of Canada at time.^[8]

History

Dufferin was erected in 1873 from Saint Stephen Parish.^[9]

Boundaries

Dufferin Parish is bounded:^[2]^[10]^[11]

on the north by the rear line of the tier of grants fronting on the St. Croix River and Pagans Cove;
on the east by the mouth of Oak Bay;
on the south by the St. Croix River;
on the west by the Old Bay Road and Dennis Stream.

Local service district

The local service district of the parish of Dufferin comprised the entire parish.^[12]

The LSD was established in 1969 to assess for community services,^[13] in this case to provide ambulance service after local funeral homes ceased doing so.^[14] Fire protection was added in 1970.^[15]

In 2021, the LSD assesses for only the basic LSD services of fire protection, police services, land use planning, emergency measures, and dog control.^[16] The taxing authority is 509.00 Dufferin.
