PARISHES: Madawaska County lands were originally not assigned to any Parishes, but was unassigned land in York County. It was set off as part of Kent Parish in 1821 from these unassigned lands (Included everything above the Wakefield line of that date, so would include all of Wicklow, Aberdeen as well as all of Victoria and Madawaska Counties.) Then in Carleton County (ca. 1831-1833), and still later in Victoria County (1844), and finally in 1873, became Madawaska County on its own, with three parishes. Baker Brook Parish - established in 1929 Clair Parish - 1900 set off from Saint-François Parish Lac-Baker Parish - established in 1938 Madawaska Parish* - 1833, errected in Carleton County, included everything north of Perth and Grand Falls until 1850, when St. Basile and St Leonard were set off; and in 1877, St Francis, St. Hilaire and St. Jacques were set off.  Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes Parish - set up in 1946. Rivière-Verte Parish -  set up in 1935 Saint-André Parish - established 1913 Sainte-Anne Parish - 1877 erected from parts of Saint-Léonard and Saint-Basile Parishes Saint-Basile Parish* - 1850 from Madawaska Parish in Victoria Co;  much as at present, but did include a portion of Sainte-Anne Parish until 1877 Saint-François Parish - 1877 erected from Madawaska Parish, and included Clair Parish until 1900.
