Origin of name

The parish was probably in honour of Sir John Harvey, Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick 1837-1841.[4]

History

Harvey Parish was erected in 1838 from parts of Hopewell and Salisbury Parishes.[5] It included modern Alma Parish and most of Elgin.

The boundaries were adjusted in 1846,[6] taking in all of Salisbury Parish south of the prolongation of Harvey's northern line.

Elgin Parish was erected in 1847 from the northern part of Harvey.[7]

Alma Parish was erected from the western part of Harvey in 1855.[8]

In 1877 Grindstone Island was omitted from the boundary description of Harvey;[9] this was corrected in 1879.[10]

Harvey is sometimes erroneously stated to have included part of Saint John County but the county line was moved west in 1837.[11]

Boundaries

Harvey Parish is bounded on the south by Chignecto Bay, on the west by the prolongation of a grant line on Rocher Bay near Hebron, on the north by a line running from the northwestern corner of Hopewell Parish to south of Wolfe Lake, and on the east by the Shepody River, Crooked Brook, and a line running 20° north of west; it also includes Grindstone Island in Shepody Bay.[2]

Local service district

The local service district of the parish of Harvey includes the entire parish.[12] The LSD was established on 23 November 1966 to assess for fire protection[13] following the abolition of county councils in the new Municipalities Act. First aid & ambulance services were added on 21 January 1976.[14]

Today it assesses for community & recreation services in addition to the basic LSD services of fire protection, police services, land use planning, emergency measures, and dog control.[15] The taxing authority is 617.00 Harvey.
