Simonds is a geographic parish in Saint John County, New Brunswick, Canada.

[a] Contrary to the map image on this page, Simonds does not and never has included the City of Saint John within its boundaries, although Saint John did annex part of Simonds in 1967.

[9] The parish may have been named in honour of Charles Simonds, Speaker of the House of Assembly when the parish was erected, or his family, who were prominent in the early history of the province.

[11] In 1902 an error in the boundaries of Saint John was corrected, returning part of Simonds.

[12] The error occurred in 1889 when Saint John was amalgamated with Portland Parish and its boundary description was rewritten,[13] misstating the boundary at Drurys Cove.
