Ludlow is a geographic parish in Northumberland County, New Brunswick, Canada.

For governance purposes it is part of the incorporated rural community of Upper Miramichi,[3] which is a member of the Greater Miramichi Regional Service Commission (GMRSC).[4] Before the creation of Upper Miramichi in 1971,[5] Ludlow Parish was a local service district.[6] [7]

Origin of name

Ludlow was named in honour of the Ludlow brothers.[8] [9]

The Ludlow brothers were prominent Loyalist judges and members of the Executive Council of New Brunswick. George Duncan was appointed first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New Brunswick,[10] while younger brother Gabriel George was first Mayor of Saint John;[11] both died in 1808. Carleton Parish, named for their political ally Thomas Carleton, first Governor of New Brunswick, was erected simultaneously.[12]

History

Ludlow was erected in 1814 from unassigned territory in the western part of the county plus a strip of Newcastle Parish.

Ludlow included Blackville and Blissfield Parishes plus the western part of Kent County until 1830.[13]

Boundaries

Ludlow Parish is bounded:[14] [15]

Evolution of boundaries

The eastern line of Blackville Parish, prolongated to Westmorland County, was the original eastern line of Ludlow, putting most of Harcourt and Huskisson Parishes in Ludlow. The northern line was further south, putting much of Route 108 in Northesk Parish.

In 1830 Ludlow was split three ways, with the eastern part becoming Blackville Parish and the central part becoming Blissfield Parish, while the northern line was moved roughly where it is today.

Changes in the wording of the boundary with Northesk Parish and later Southesk Parish in 1850,[16] 1877,[17] and 1954[18] made little if any difference in the parish line.
