Kent Parish, New Brunswick

Kent's 1821 boundaries gave it all of the province west of Northumberland County, including the province's claims to northern Maine and parts of Québec.

In 1832 Kent was included in the newly erected Carleton County;[8] The eastern county line cut through Kent Parish.

In 1833 the sheer size of Kent Parish lead to it being split into five parishes. Wicklow and Andover comprised all of the parish west of the Saint John River, Perth all of Kent east of the Saint John between the modern county line and Grand Falls, and Madawaska all of Kent north of Grand Falls; the orphaned area in York County became unassigned land in that county. Kent retained its modern territory plus Aberdeen Parish and eastern Peel and Brighton Parishes.[9]

In 1841 the southern boundary of Brighton Parish was changed, causing a change in its northern boundary due to its wording,[lower-alpha 1] removing all of modern Brighton and Peel Parishes and southern Aberdeen.[10]

In 1850 the northern line was rotated to run due east from the mouth of the River de Chute.[11] Kent gained a small area on the bank of the Saint John but lost a large triangle of territory that included the modern communities of Chapmanville, Kilfoil, Killoween, Maplehurst, and Moose Mountain.

In 1863 the southeastern part of Kent formed the bulk of Aberdeen Parish,[12] removing Glassville and Knowlesville Settlements.

In 1864 the original northern line of Carleton County was restored, reversing the 1850 changes.[13]

In 1896 the boundary with Aberdeen Parish underwent minor changes, taking a long narrow triangle of territory from Kent.[14]

In 1956 a stretch of Crown Reserved Road[lower-alpha 2] along the western boundary of Aberdeen Parish was transferred to Kent,[16] possibly in error.[lower-alpha 3]

The local service district of the parish of Kent originally comprised all of the parish outside the villages of Bath and Bristol.
