History

Hammond Parish formed in 1858 from part of Upham Parish. It was named for the Hammond River.

Delineation

Hammond Parish is defined in the Territorial Division Act[2] as being bounded:

Northerly by Sussex and Waterford Parishes; south and east by the County lines, and west by Upham Parish.

Governance

The entire parish forms the local service district of the parish of Hammond, established in 1968 to assess for fire protection. First aid and ambulance services were added to the assessment in 1972. Recreational facilities were added to the assessment in 1994, with first aid and ambulance services being removed at the same time.

Notes
  1. Civil parishes served a variety of government functions until 1966, when the new Municipalities Act stripped them of their responsibilities; they continue to provide convenient boundaries for government uses, especially electoral districts and local service districts. Statistics Canada uses civil parishes as census subdivisions for all parts of the province that are not within municipalities and similar entities.
