Encyclopedia > Counties of New Brunswick

This is a list of the counties in the Canadian province of New Brunswick, with shire towns in parentheses. It must be noted that since 1966, counties in New Brunswick serve virtually no purpose except the court system, and as geographical expressions of location (i.e., most citizens always know which county they are in). They still appear on most maps. Prior to Equal Opportunity in 1966, counties were the uppermost of the complicated three-tiered local government system in New Brunswick. Below each county were numerous parishes, then municipalities for some areas, while some went only as far down as the parish. See List of parishes in New Brunswick also. All municipalities reported to their parish and then to their county, with the exception of the City of Saint John. Saint John did not report to a Parish, but it did report to the County of St. John. A county is generally a sub-unit of regional self-government within a sovereign jurisdiction. ...

Lewis Fisher had come to New Brunswick in 1783 from Bergen County, New Jersey as a loyalist, settling on the land at Fredericton with his wife and three children (not including the oldest daughter who had been left behind in the United States with her grandparents).
The combination of the severe recession in New Brunswick after 1865 and the rapid economic growth of the United States and the Canadian West during the same period produced a powerful lure that members of the fourth and fifth generations of the Fisher family found difficult to resist.
