Springfield is a geographic parish in Kings County, New Brunswick, Canada.[2]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, it was divided for governance purposes between the village of Norton[3] and the local service district of the parish of Norton,[4] both of which were members of Kings Regional Service Commission (RSC8).[5]

Origin of name

[edit | edit source]

The name was common[6] in the Thirteen Colonies, now famously found at least once in every state of the United States.

Notable is that the names of Kings County's pre-1800 parishes all occur in both New Jersey and North Carolina.[7]

History

[edit | edit source]

Springfield was erected in 1786 as one of the original parishes of the county.[8]

In 1795 the boundaries were altered as part of the reorganisation of Kings County parishes.[9]

In 1860 part of the parish was included in the newly erected Kars Parish.[10]

In 1880 the boundary with Studholm was altered.[11]

In 1896 the southern boundary was altered.[12]

In 1899 the boundary was again altered.[13]

Notes

[edit | edit source]
  1. ^ First described with a bearing in the Revised Statutes of 1952, when magnetic declination in the area was about 22.5º west of north.[17] Before 1952 the Territorial Division Act noted that all bearings were by the magnet of the year they were first written; this bearing may actually date to the laying out of grants in 1786, when declination was about 14º west of north.
  2. ^ Not including brooks, ponds or coves.
