Origin of name

The parish may have been named in memory of Lord Aberdeen, a former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom who died in 1860.[5]

History

Aberdeen was erected in 1863 from parts of Brighton, Kent, and Peel Parishes.[6] It was centred around the Glassville and Knowlesville grant settlements.

In 1956 the western boundary was altered slightly, transferring a reserved road to Kent Parish.[7] A reserved road is a strip of land reserved to the Crown that runs between blocks of grants.

Boundaries

Aberdeen Parish is bounded on the west by the western side of grants running along the Ketchum Ridge, West Glassville, Old West Glassville, Shikatehawk, and Denney Hill Roads; on the north by the north line of a grant on the Denney Hill Road prolonged to the York County line; on the east by the York County line; and on the south by the southern line of a grant southwest of the intersection of the Black Brook and Ketchum Ridge roads, prolonged to the York County line.[2]

Both LSDs assess for the basic LSD services of fire protection, police services, land use planning, emergency measures, and dog control.[8]
