Sackville is a geographic parish in Westmorland County, New Brunswick, Canada.[4]
For governance purposes it is divided between the town of Tantramar, the incorporated rural community of Strait Shores,[5] and the Southeast rural district,[6] with small border areas belonging to the town of Cap-Acadie.[a] All are members of the Southeast Regional Service Commission.[7]
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between the town of Sackville[8] and the local service district of the parish of Sackville,[9] with a small area in the northeast part of the rural community of Beaubassin East.[10]
The parish was named in honour of Lord George Sackville,[11] later Secretary of State for the Colonies.
Sackville was established in 1772 as a Nova Scotia township.[12]
Sackville was erected as one of Westmorland County's original parishes in 1786[13] with enlarged boundaries; most of the modern town of Shediac was added.
In 1827 the northern part of Sackville was included in the newly erected Shediac Parish.[14]
In 1880 the boundary with Westmorland Parish was altered, adding a large inland area to Sackville.[15]
In 1894 the existing boundaries were made retroactive to the erection of the parish.[16]
