Origin of name

The parish was named for Clarendon Settlement, which in turn was named for the Earl of Clarendon, British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs at the time.[5]

History

Clarendon was erected in 1869 from Lepreau and Pennfield Parishes.[6]

The area was first laid out for settlement in 1856,[7] with the Clarendon Settlement being largest. Much of the parish was never surveyed for settlement, most of the surveyed lots were never granted, and many granted lots were later reconveyed to the Crown.[8]

In 1868 the Clarendon District was created as a polling district taking in the northern part of Lepreau and Pennfield Parishes.[9]

Clarendon Parish has very regular boundaries: on the east by Queens County, on the south by a due west line from the southernmost corner of Queens County, on the north by the county line, and on the west by the prolongation of the rear line of grants along Lake Utopia in Saint George Parish.[2]
