Southampton 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 town of Nackawic, the village of Millville, and the local service district of the parish of Southampton,^[3] all of which were members of Capital Region Service Commission (RSC11).^[4]

Origin of name

When Carleton County was erected in 1832 the new county line went through Northampton Parish. The next year the part of Northampton south of the line was erected as Southampton.^[5]

History

Southampton was erected in 1833 from the part of Northampton Parish that was southeast of the Carleton County line.^[5]

In 1834 the county line was altered to run along grant lines, adding territory to Southampton.^[6]

In 1865 the boundary with Queensbury Parish was altered, removing territory east of the East Branch Nackawic Stream.^[7]

Boundaries

Southampton Parish is bounded:^[2]^[8]^[9]

on the northeast beginning on the Carleton County line about 600 metres northeasterly of Route 104, on the prolongation the central line of a two-lot grant to Jonathan Williams on the Saint John River, then running southeasterly along the prolongation to the Burnt Lake Branch;
on the southeast by a line running down the Burnt Lake Branch and the East Branch Nackawic Stream to the northeastern line of a grant to John Morehouse, about 2.4 kilometres easterly of the junction of Caverhill Siding Road with Route 605, then southeasterly about 1.2 kilometres and southwesterly about 275 metres along the Morehouse grant to the prolongation of the southeastern line of a grant to William Dobie, then southeasterly about 675 metres along the Dobie grant to the prolongation of the southeastern line of a large grant to Captain Joseph Cunliffe, then southwesterly along the Cunliffe grant, striking the Saint John River about 150 metres downstream of the mouth of Quigg Brook, then up the Saint John;
