For governance purposes it is divided between the local service districts of Riley Brook and the parish of Lorne,[3] both of which are members of the Western Valley Regional Service Commission (WVRSC).[4]

Origin of name

The parish was named for the Marquess of Lorne,[5] recently married to The Princess Louise, daughter of Queen Victoria. Lorne was later Governor General of Canada.

History

Lorne was erected in 1871 from Gordon Parish.[6]

In 1896 the northwestern boundary was altered from running north-northeast to running northeast.[7]

Lorne Parish is defined in the Territorial Division Act[2] as being bounded:

Northeasterly and northerly by Northumberland and Restigouche Counties; south by Gordon Parish; and northwesterly by the prolongation to the county of Restigouche of the line forming the northwesterly boundary of Gordon Parish, which runs a course north forty-five degrees east from the point on the Royal Road[lower-alpha 1] eight miles north of the Tobique River.
