Petersville is a geographic parishinQueens County, New Brunswick, Canada.[2]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, for governance purposes it was divided between CFB Gagetown and the local service districtsofWirral-Enniskillen and the parish of Petersville.[3] Wirral-Enniskillen was part of Capital Region Service Commission (RSC11) and Petersville Parish was part of the Fundy Regional Service Commission (FRSC).[4]

Origin of name[edit]

William Francis Ganong states that the parish was named in honour of Harry Peters, then Speaker of the House of Assembly.[5] Peters' tenure as Speaker actually ended in 1827 but he continued to serve as MLA until 1843. Harry's brother Charles Jeffery Peters was Attorney General of New Brunswick when the parish was erected.

History[edit]

Petersville was erected in 1838 from Gagetown and Hampstead Parishes.[6]

Much of the parish was expropriated in 1953 for the creation of CFB Gagetown.
