Origin of name

William F. Ganong had no definitive source.[6]

Andover may have been named in homage to Andover, Hampshire, England.[7]

History

Andover was erected in 1833 in Carleton County from Kent Parish.[8] The parish extended to above Grand Falls, New Brunswick, taking in most of Grand Falls Parish.

In 1850 the parish was extended north to where the Saint John River crosses the international boundary.[9]

In 1853 all of Andover north of the Aroostook River was included in the newly erected Grand Falls Parish.[10]
