PARISHES: Victoria County is one of the later additions to New Brunswick maps. It was formed in 1844, from lands originally assigned to York County. However, none of the land assigned to Victoria County was ever included in original York Co. Parishes. It was part of Carleton County from 1833 to 1844, and many of it's Parishes were set up in that County. A parish set up in York County in 1821 did include all Victoria and Madawaska Counties, but this was not one of the original county parishes.
  • Andover Parish - erected in 1833 in Carleton County, included Grand FallsParish until 1852.
  • Denmark Parish - established in 1935
  • Drummond Parish - set off from Grand Falls and St. Leonards Parishes in 1872.
  • Gordon Parish - set off in 1863 from Perth and Grand Falls. Included some of Lorne Parish until 1871.
  • Grand Falls - set off in 1852, included large parts of Drummond and Gordon, plus some of Lorne Parish until 1871. Altered in 1863 to include part of St. Leonard.
  • Lorne Parish - set off in 1871 from Gordon and Grand Falls Parishes.
  • Perth Parish - created in 1833 from Kent Parish as part of Carleton County, included Gordon Parish until 1863.
Parishes that were in Victoria County at one time, but have been reassigned over the years to Madawaska County.
  • 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. Now part of Madawaska County.
  • St. Leonards Parish- set off in 1850, included most of the present Lorne & Drummond Parishes, which are now part of Madawaska County.
