For governance purposes it is divided between the village of Charlo, the Indian reserve of Moose Meadows 4, and the local service districts of Chaleur and Lorne,[3] all of which except the Indian reserve are members of the Restigouche Regional Service Commission (RRSC).[4]

Origin of name

The parish was named in honour of John Colborne, acting Governor General of the Canadas when the parish was erected.[5]

History

Colborne was erected in 1840 from Addington and Beresford Parishes.[6] Colborne comprised Restigouche County between the Benjamin and Eel Rivers.

In 1850 the boundaries were altered to run due south from starting points near the coast: the western boundary from milepost forty-eight on the great road (highway) from Bathurst to Dalhousie, the eastern boundary from the mouth of the Benjamin River.[7]

Delineation

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

West by Dalhousie and Balmoral Parishes; south by the County line; east by a line running true south from the mouth of Benjamin River, and north by Chaleur Bay including Heron Island and all the other islands in front.
