Waterborough is a geographic parish in Queens County, New Brunswick, Canada.[2]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, for governance purposes it formed the local service district of the parish of Waterborough,[3] which was a member of Capital Region Service Commission (RSC11).[4]

Origin of name

The parish was said locally to describe the terrain.[5] The original boundaries surrounded Grand Lake.

History

Waterborough was erected in 1786 as one of the county's original parishes.[6] It completely surrounded Grand Lake and extended past the county line.[7]

In 1827 Canning Parish was erected from Waterborough.[8]

In 1852 part of Waterborough was included in the newly erected Cambridge Parish.[9]

In 1855 Waterborough was expanded to the northwest, adding all of Chipman Parish southeast of Coal Creek.[10]

In 1856 the boundary with Cambridge was adjusted.[11]

In 1896 Waterborough was expanded northwest to reach the county line, taking part of Chipman.[12]
