[5] Brighton was erected in 1830 within York County from all of Wakefield Parish east of the channel of the Saint John River.

[6] It contained parts of modern Bright, Northampton, Peel, and Southampton Parishes.

The wording of Northampton's boundary, which started 12 miles (19 km) inland along the Queensbury Parish line, was by a line running from thence north-westerly to the mouth of a river which discharges into the river Saint John, at the upper boundary of block number seven, about two miles and a quarter above the upper end of Pine Island,[a] describing an endpoint in a stretch of shoreline with no waterway large enough to be named on modern provincial maps.

The new parish line ran south of its present course, cutting through modern Newburg.

The northern boundary would also have been altered due to the existing wording of Brighton's boundaries, taking a large piece of Kent Parish that included the modern communities of Armond, East Coldstream, Esdraelon, Hemphill Corner, South Gordonsville, South Knowlesville, and Windsor.

[18] The town of Hartland stretches from the just north of the mouth of the Becaguimec Stream to Route 575.

Chair Brent Pearson sat on the WVRSC board in 2015,[24] 2016,[25] and in late 2017 as a replacement.
