Origin of name
The parish was named in honour of Sir Thomas Saumarez, acting Governor of New Brunswick when it was erected.[2] Six of the parishes erected simultaneously in Northumberland County in 1814[3] were named for prominent British military figures.
History
Saumarez was erected in 1814 as part of Northumberland County from unassigned territory.[3] It included all modern Gloucester County except Beresford Parish.
In 1827, all of the parish west of Teague's Brook was erected as Bathurst Parish.[4]
In 1831, Caraquet and New Bandon were erected as their own parishes.[5]
In 1855, Inkerman was erected from the northern part of Saumarez.[6] The barrier islands east of Tracadie Bay were included in Inkerman.
In 1870, the barrier islands south of the Old Tracadie Gully were returned to Saumarez.[7]
In 1881, a large area along the northwestern boundary was included in the newly erected Saint-Isidore Parish.[8]
In 1947, the western end of Saumarez was included in the newly erected Allardville.[9]
