The local service district (LSD) and Census subdivision of the same name have the same boundaries as the parish.[3]

The LSD is a member of the Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission (SNBSC).[4]

Origin of the name

Ganong believed the name suggested by other Saint names in the area.[5] 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 David was erected in 1786 as one of the original parishes of Charlotte County.[6] The block grant to the Cape Ann Association formed the bulk of the parish.

In 1881 southern end of the boundary with Saint Croix Parish was altered, transferring five grants to Saint David.[7]
