Harvey is a geographic parish in southern Albert County, New Brunswick, Canada.[4]
For governance purposes, Harvey is divided between the village of Fundy Albert[5] and the Southeast rural district,[6] both members of the Southeast Regional Service Commission.[7]
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish formed a single local service district, the LSD of the parish of Harvey.[8]
The parish was probably named in honour of Sir John Harvey, Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick 1837-1841.[9]
Harvey Parish was erected in 1838 from western Hopewell and southern Salisbury Parishes.[10] It included modern Alma Parish and the southern part of Elgin Parish.
Harvey Parish is bounded:[2][11][12]
Harvey's northern line was originally an extension of the northern line of Hopewell Parish,[10] running north of Church Hill Road. This put Church Hill, Churches Corner, Ferndale, River View, and Ross Corner in Harvey.
Following the erection of Albert County in 1845[17] the new county line passed through Salisbury and Harvey Parishes. This was found inconvenient and the county line was moved in 1846,[18] adding the remainder of modern Elgin Parish to Harvey.
The northern part of Harvey was erected as Elgin Parish in 1847[19] and the western part as Alma Parish in 1855,[20] giving the parish its modern boundaries.
In 1877 Grindstone Island was omitted from the boundary description of Harvey;[13] this was corrected in 1879.[21]
The local service district of the parish of Harvey included the entire parish.[22] The LSD was established on 23 November 1966 to assess for fire protection[23] following the abolition of county councils in the new Municipalities Act. First aid & ambulance services were added on 21 January 1976.[24]
In 2020, it assessed for community & recreation services in addition to the basic LSD services of fire protection, police services, land use planning, emergency measures, and dog control.[25] The taxing authority was 617.00 Harvey.
