Hardwicke is a geographic parish in Northumberland County, New Brunswick, Canada.

[7] Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between the local service districts of Baie Ste.

The parish may have been named in honour of the Earl of Hardwicke,[9] a prominent commander in the Royal Navy at the time of its erection.

More frequently cited as the honouree is Benjamin Hardwick, a contributor to Church of England missions in the area;[10][11] the extra letter in the name would then be due to clerical error.

[12] Hardwicke Parish is bounded:[2][13][14][15] When Hardwicke was erected the Kent County line at its eastern end ran from Point Escuminac through land, then the waters of Northumberland Strait, then through land again, leaving a small piece of Kent County isolated from the rest.
