Origin of name

The parish may have been named after the town of Wicklow or County Wicklow in Ireland. Ganong listed its origin as uncertain.[4]

History

Wicklow was erected in 1833 from Kent Parish.[5]

In 1850 the boundary within the Saint John River was clarified, adding any islands in front to Wicklow.[6]

In 1870 the boundary with Simonds and Wilmot Parishes was moved south nearly a kilometre.[7]

Boundaries

Wicklow Parish is bounded on the west by the international border; on the north by the River de Chute; on the east by the Saint John River; and on the south by southern line of a land grant at the mouth of Whitemarsh Brook and its prolongation to the international border. It also includes any islands in front of it in the Saint John River.[2]

Municipalities

The town of Florenceville-Bristol extends into a small area in the southeastern corner along Routes 110 and 130.[8]

The village of Centreville, New Brunswick straddles the southern parish line along Route 110, Route 560, and Gregg Settlement Road.[8]
