Andover is a geographic parish in Victoria County, New Brunswick, Canada.[2]
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, for governance purposes it was divided between the villages of Aroostook and Perth-Andover[3] and the local service district of the parish of Andover,[4] all of which were members of the Western Valley Regional Service Commission (WVRSC).[5]
Origin of name

In 1850 the parish was extended north to where the Saint John River crosses the international boundary.[8]
In 1853 all of Andover north of the Aroostook River was included in the newly erected Grand Falls Parish.[9]
