Woodstock Parish, New Brunswick

Woodstock is a geographic parish in Carleton County, New Brunswick, Canada,[2] surrounding the town of the same name on its landward side.

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, for governance purposes it was comprised one town, one Indian reserve, part of one village, and parts of three local service districts, all of which except the Indian reserve were members of the Western Valley Regional Service Commission (WVRSC).

[1] The parish was named in honour of Viscount Woodstock, a junior title of the Duke of Portland, Prime Minister of Great Britain when the Loyalists arrived in New Brunswick.

[10] In 1834 the boundary with York County was altered to run along grant lines as it neared the Saint John River.

[11] This exchanged several small pieces of territory along the Eel River with Dumfries Parish in York County.

[14] In 1854 the northern boundary was extended through the Meduxnekeag, transferring parts of two grants straddling the river to Wakefield Parish.

[15] The town of Woodstock sits at the mouth of the Meduxnekeag River, near the northeastern corner of the parish.

[16] The village of Meductic sits at the mouth of the Eel River, straddling the York County line.

[18] A small wetland area west of the mouth of Fish Creek in Richmond Parish was added to this LSD in 2014.
