Beresford is a geographic parish in Gloucester County, New Brunswick, Canada.Template:Refn
For governance purposes it divided between the town of Belle-Baie, the village of Belledune,[1] and the Chaleur rural district,[2] all of which are members of the Chaleur Regional Service Commission.[3]
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between five municipalities and eight local service districts: the town of Beresford, New Brunswick; the villages of Belledune, Nigadoo, Petit-Rocher, and Pointe-Verte; and the LSDs of Dunlop, Laplante,[lower-alpha 1] Madran, Petit-Rocher-Nord (Devereaux), Petit-Rocher-Sud, Robertville, Tremblay, and the parish of Beresford, which in turn had seven named areas (often incorrectly called LSDs) receiving special services when they were created: Alcida and Dauversière; Nicholas-Denys, Free Grant and Sainte-Rosette; Petit Rocher West;[lower-alpha 2] Saint-Laurent Nord; Sainte-Louise; Sainte-Thérèse Sud; and Sormany.[4] In the 2023 reform, Belledune was unaffected, while all the other municipalities were amalgamated to form Belle-Baie, which annexed all populated parts of the LSDs;[1] the Crown land in the rear of the parish became part of the rural district.[2] All community names remain in official use.[5]
Origin of name
The parish was named for Baron Beresford, Commander in Chief of the Portuguese Army during the Peninsular War.[6] Six of the parishes erected simultaneously in Northumberland County in 1814[7] were named for prominent British military figures.
History
Beresford was erected in 1814 from unassigned lands in the north of Northumberland County, including much of modern Restigouche County; all of the county north of the modern southern parish line of Beresford and east of the Restigouche River was included in the parish.[7]
In 1827, all of the parish west of the Benjamin River was erected as Addington and Eldon Parishes.[8]
In 1838, Restigouche County was erected, with the new county line beginning the same as today's but continuing in a straight line instead of turning partway along as it does now.[9] Two years later, the Restigouche portion was erected into Colborne and Durham Parishes.[10]
In 1881, the county line was moved to its modern position, putting the western part of interior settlements in Beresford.[11]
