Rothesay is a civil parish in Kings County, New Brunswick, Canada.[2]
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, it was divided for governence purposes between the towns of Rothesay and Quispamsis[3] and the local service district of the parish of Rothesay,[4] all of which were members of the Fundy Regional Service Commission (FRSC).[5]
The parish may been named in honour of the Duke of Rothesay, one of the hereditary titles of the Prince of Wales, who visited the area in 1860[6] as part of his tour of North America.
Rothesay was erected from Hampton Parish in 1870.[7]
In 1873 the boundary with Hampton was clarified among the islands of Hammond River and altered to run along grant lines on the mainland.[8]
