Prior to the 2023 governance reform, for governance purposes it was divided between CFB Gagetown and the local service district of Hampstead,[3] which was a member of Capital Region Service Commission (RSC11).[4] The Saint John River islands are not part of the local service district.

Origin of name

edit

The parish was probably named for Hempstead, New York,[5] source of some of the Loyalist settlers of the parish.

History

edit

Hampstead was erected in 1786 as one of the county's original parishes.[6]

In 1838 the rear of the parish was included in the newly erected Petersville Parish.[7]

In 1895 the eastern half of Long Island was transferred to Wickham Parish.[8]

New Brunswick's last surviving African Canadian community, Elm Hill, was established here in 1806.

    Notes

    edit
    1. ^ Roads still appear on cadastral maps but not in highway mapbooks; because the old roads and grants are used in the Territorial Division Act they're used here.
  • ^ By the magnet of 1850, [12] when declination at the starting point was about 18º 20' west of north.[13] The Territorial Division Act clause referring to magnetic direction bearings was omitted in the 1952[14] and 1973 Revised Statutes.[2]
  • ^ Not including brooks, ponds or coves.
