When New Brunswick was established in 1784 it was divided into eight counties. Charlotte County is one of the original counties established in 1785. It is located in southwestern New Brunswick. Seven parishes, Pennfield, Saint Andrews, Saint David, Saint George, Saint Patrick, Saint Stephen and West Isles were created in 1786. Campobello and Grand Manan were created from West Isles in 1803 and 1816 respectively. In 1823, Saint James was created from Saint Stephen. Dumbarton was created from Saint Patrick in 1856, and Lepreau was divided from Pennfield in 1859. Clarendon was set off from Pennfield and Lepreau in 1869. Dufferin from St. Stephen in 1873; Saint Croix was created from Saint Andrews in 1874. [1]

Census[edit | edit source]
In Canada, census returns are closed for 92 years after the time of enumeration. Census returns prior to 1851 are rarely complete for any area. Due to boundary changes, census records may be found in Nova Scotia records.
