History

Harvey Parish created in 1838 from part of Hopewell Parish and a small portion of St. John County and named for Sir John Harvey (1777-1852), lieutenant-governor of New Brunswick from 1837-1841: Harvey Parish included Alma Parish until 1855.

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