Gordon is a geographic parish in Victoria County, New Brunswick, Canada.[1]
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, for governance purposes it was divided between the village of Plaster Rock and the local service district of the parish of Gordon,[2] both of which were members of the Western Valley Regional Service Commission (WVRSC).[3]
Origin of name
The parish was named in honour of Arthur Hamilton-Gordon, Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick at the time.[4]
History
Gordon was erected in 1864 from Grand Falls, Perth, and Saint-Léonard Parishes.[5] Three months later the Carleton County line was restored to its pre-1854 course,[6] removing part of Gordon.
In 1871 all of Gordon north of a line true east and west from the southern end of Long Island in the Tobique River was erected as Lorne Parish.[7]
In 1896 the boundary with Lorne was altered.[8]
