Saint-Joseph is a geographic parish in Madawaska County, New Brunswick, Canada.[4]

For governance purposes it is divided between the city of Edmundston[5] and the Northwest rural district,[6] both members of the Northwest Regional Service Commission (NWRSC).[7] Before the 2023 governance reforms, the local service district of the parish of Saint-Joseph shared the parish's boundaries.[8]

Saint-Joseph bisects Madawaska and Saint-Jacques Parishes, the only area in the province where parishes are discontiguous.

Origin of name

The parish probably takes its name from the Roman Catholic ecclesiastical parish.

History

Saint-Joseph was erected in 1930 from Madawaska and Saint-Jacques Parishes;[9] the name was spelt without a hyphen.

Saint-Joseph was affected by the major reorganisation of Madawaska County parish boundaries.[10]

In 1973 the hyphen was added to the legal name of the parish.[11]
