[2] Prior to the 2023 governance reform, for governance purposes it was divided between the city of Fredericton, the Indian reserve of Kingsclear 6, the incorporated rural community of Hanwell,[3] and the local service district of the parish of Kingsclear,[4] all of which except the Indian reserve were members of Capital Region Service Commission (RSC11).

[8] The parish ran twelve miles back into the country and included the islands in front of it in the Saint John River.

[9] In 1850 the area behind Fredericton was included in the newly erected New Maryland Parish; Merrithews Island (Upper and Lower Shores Islands) was transferred to Douglas; and Kingsclear was extended back to the Charlotte County line.

[10] In 1855 the rear of Kingsclear was included in the newly erected Manners Sutton Parish.
