It was created in 1873 from Saint Stephen Parish and named for Frederick Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood, 1st Marquess of Dufferin and Ava who was governor-general of Canada at the time. Following the abolition of county councils with the 1966 Municipalities Act[3], the entire parish became the local service district of the parish of Dufferin in 1969.[4] Fire protection was added to the assessment in 1970. Like most of Charlotte County, it is part of Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission.[5]

It is defined in the Territorial Division Act[6] as "Commencing in the centre of the channel of the St. Croix River opposite the mouth of Dennis Stream; thence following the centre of said channel down stream around Todds Point, so called, to Oak Bay, and up the centre of the channel of Oak Bay and of Pagans Cove, to where the northern line of lots fronting on northern side of St. Croix River intersects said cove; thence westerly and northwesterly along said line to the Old Bay Road so called; thence westerly along said road to Dennis Stream, and thence down said stream to beginning."
