Origin of name

The parish was named for the Hammond River, which in turn took its name from Sir Andrew Snape Hamond, former Governor of Nova Scotia, who received a land grant on the river in 1787.[4]

History

Hammond was erected in 1858 from the eastern part of Upham Parish.[5]

In 1875 the boundary with Sussex and Waterford Parishes was adjusted.[6]

Delineation

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

Northerly by Sussex and Waterford Parishes; south and east by the County lines, and west by Upham Parish.

Governance

Recreational facilities were added to the assessment in 1994, with first aid and ambulance services being removed at the same time.
