It is one of 14 parishes in Charlotte County, formed in 1784 when New Brunswick was partitioned from Nova Scotia.[2] The local service district was established in 1969[3] to provide community services following the abolition of county councils with the 1966 Municipalities Act.[4] Fire protection was added in 1970 and non-fire related rescue in 2013.

It includes the unincorporated settlements of Oak Bay and Honeydale.
