Dumbarton is a geographic parishinCharlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada,[4] located inland north of St. George and south of Harvey.

For governance purposes, the entire parish is part of the Southwest rural district,[5] which is a member of the Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission.[6]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, it comprised a single local service district (LSD), which was a member of the Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission (SNBSC).[7]

The Census subdivision of the same name shares the parish's boundaries.[1]

Origin of name

[edit]

The parish may have been named for the town of Dumbarton, Scotland,[8] although William Francis Ganong considered this uncertain.

History

[edit]

Dumbarton was erected from northern Saint Patrick Parish in 1856.[9]

It included a small triangle of Saint Croix Parish southwest of the junction of Wilson Road and Route 127 until 1958.[10]

Boundaries

[edit]

Dumbarton Parish is bounded:[2][11][12]

Local service district

[edit]

The local service district of the parish of Dumbarton comprised the entire parish.[13]

The LSD was established in 1969 to assess for community services,[14] in this case to provide ambulance service after local funeral homes ceased doing so.[15] Fire protection was added in 1970.[16]

In 2021, the LSD assessed for only the basic LSD services of fire protection, police services, land use planning, emergency measures, and dog control.[17] The taxing authority is 510.00 Dumbarton.
