Origin of name

Ganong notes the use of St. Andrews Point in the Owen Journal of 1770 but considered the name to date back to French times.[4]

Five of the original six mainland parishes of Charlotte County used names of major saints recognised by the Church of England: Andrew (Scotland), David (Wales), George (England), Patrick (Ireland), and Stephen.

History

Saint Andrews Parish as one of the county's original parishes[5] and included most of modern Saint Croix Parish as well as part of Saint David Parish.

Saint Croix Parish was erected as its own parish in 1874.[6]

Boundaries

Saint Andrews Parish is surrounded by the St. Croix River, Passamaquoddy Bay, Big Bay, and Birch Cove. From Birch Cove, its boundary run northwesterly before turning westerly toward Little Chamcook Lake; from there it runs southerly along the eastern shore of Little Chamcook Lake and Chamcook Lake, turning to follow the southern end of Chamcook Lake before running southwesterly to the rear of grants along the St. Croix River. Following the grants lines southeasterly to Edwards Corner, the boundary turns 90° and runs southwesterly to the river. Ministers Island and Navy Island are also part of the parish.[2]

Municipality

The town of Saint Andrews runs as far north as Clark Road and includes Navy Island.

Local service district

Chamcook comprises all of the mainland north of Saint Andrews as well as Ministers Island.[7]

The LSD was established in 1997 to assess for fire service, replacing the parish of Saint Andrews.[8]

Today Chamcook assesses for only the basic LSD services of fire protection, police services, land use planning, emergency measures, and dog control.[9] The taxing authority is 513.00 Chamcook.

Former local service district

The local service district of the parish of Saint Andrews comprised all of the parish outside Saint Andrews.

The LSD was established in 1970 to assess for fire protection.[10] First aid and ambulance services were added in 1975.[11]

This LSD was replaced by Chamcook in 1997.
