It was part of Pennfield Parish until 1857. Following the abolition of county councils with the 1966 Municipalities Act,[3] the local service district was established in 1970[4] to assess for fire protection. First aid and ambulance services were added in 1978. The local service district is part of Regional Service Commission 11.

It includes the unincorporated settlements of Lepreau, Maces Bay, and Pocologan, and is defined in the Territorial Division Act[5] as being bounded: "West by Pennfield Parish; north by Clarendon Parish; east by the County line; and south by the Bay of Fundy, including Pocologan, New River and Salkeld Islands, and all other islands in front within two miles of the shore."
