For governance purposes it is divided between the village of Rogersville and the local service district of the parish of Acadieville (which further includes the special service area of Acadie Siding), both of which are members of the Kent Regional Service Commission (KRSC).[3]

Origin of name

William F. Ganong considered the name's origin to be obviously from Acadie.[4]

History

Acadieville was erected in 1876 from Carleton Parish.[5]

Acadieville Parish was first settled in 1868 by Acadian settlers who rushed to claim the provincial Crown Lands after it was revealed that the surveyed route for the Intercolonial Railway would pass through the area.

In 1869, the Intercolonial Railway's route was modified and it was constructed approximately 10 kilometres to the west.

Delineation

Acadieville Parish is defined in the Territorial Division Act[2] as being bounded:

West by the west line of Weldford Parish prolonged northerly; south by Saint-Louis Parish; northwest by the County line; and east by Carleton Parish.
