Dufferin was erected in 1873 from Saint Stephen Parish.[5]

Local service district

The local service district of the parish of Dufferin comprises the entire parish.[6]

The LSD was established in 1969 to assess for community services,[7] in this case to provide ambulance service after local funeral homes ceased doing so.[8] Fire protection was added in 1970.[9]

Today the LSD assesses for only the basic LSD services of fire protection, police services, land use planning, emergency measures, and dog control.[10] The taxing authority is 509.00 Dufferin.
