Richmond Parish, New Brunswick

Richmond is a geographic parish in Carleton County, New Brunswick, Canada,[2] located west of Woodstock.

[1] The parish may have been named in honour of the Duke of Richmond, Governor General of British North America 1818-1819, as the area was opened for settlement in 1817.
