Its population in the [[Canada 2011 Census|2011 Census]] was 522.

Prior to the [[2023 New Brunswick local governance reform|2023 governance reform]], all of the parish outside the city formed the [[Local service district (New Brunswick)|local service district]] of the parish of Chatham.<ref name=Reg84-168>{{cite web |title=Local Service Districts Regulation - Municipalities Act |url=https://laws.gnb.ca/en/showfulldoc/cr/84-168// |website=Government of New Brunswick |access-date=13 February 2023 |date=25 June 2021}}</ref>

==Origin of name==
The parish was named in honour of the [[Earl of Chatham]], a title held at the time by General [[John Pitt, 2nd Earl of Chatham|John Pitt]], or for his father, former [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|British Prime Minister]] [[William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham|Pitt the Elder]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Ganong |first1=William F. |title=A Monograph of the Place-Nomenclature of the Province of New Brunswick |date=1896 |publisher=Royal Society of Canada |page=226 |url=https://www.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.12511 |access-date=17 March 2021}}</ref>

The Provincial Archives of New Brunswick gives British Prime Minister [[William Pitt the Younger|Pitt the Younger]] as the inspiration of the name, but erroneously gives him the title of Earl of Chatham, which he never held.<ref>{{cite web |title=Chatham Parish |url=https://archives.gnb.ca/exhibits/communities/Details.aspx?culture=en-CA&community=720 |website=Provincial Archives of New Brunswick |access-date=27 March 2021}}</ref> He died in office in 1806.

The strongest case for the parish's [[eponym]] might be General Pitt, who was [[Master-General of the Ordnance]] for most of the Napoleonic Wars and closely involved with planning Britain's coastal defenses. General Pitt was influential enough to be offered the Portugal command that later went to [[Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington]].

Chatham is a geographic parish in Northumberland County, New Brunswick, Canada.[4]

For governance purposes it is divided between the city of Miramichi[5] and the Greater Miramichi rural district,[6] both of which are members of the Greater Miramichi Regional Service Commission.[7]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, all of the parish outside the city formed the local service district of the parish of Chatham.[8]

Origin of name

[edit]

The parish was named in honour of the Earl of Chatham, a title held at the time by General John Pitt, or for his father, former British Prime Minister Pitt the Elder.[9]

The Provincial Archives of New Brunswick gives British Prime Minister Pitt the Younger as the inspiration of the name, but erroneously gives him the title of Earl of Chatham, which he never held.[10] He died in office in 1806.

Six of the nine Northumberland County parishes erected simultaneously in 1814[11] were named for military figures of the Napoleonic Wars or British politicians associated with the military.

The strongest case for the parish's eponym might be General Pitt, who was Master-General of the Ordnance for most of the Napoleonic Wars and closely involved with planning Britain's coastal defenses. General Pitt was influential enough to be offered the Portugal command that later went to Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington.

History

[edit]

Chatham was erected in 1814 from Newcastle Parish[11] but did not include the modern Douglasfield and Chatham Head areas, which were in neighbouring Nelson Parish until 1850.[12]

Boundaries

[edit]

Chatham Parish is bounded:[2][13][14]

  • on the northwest and north by the Miramichi River;
  • on the east by Napan Bay;
  • on the south by a line beginning at the mouth of Napan River and running upstream to the westernmost corner of a grant to Henry Coils in Glenelg Parish, about 300 metres east of the junction of Searle Road and North Napan Road and about 400 metres north of the junction of Hannah Hill Road and Weldfield Collette Road, then running south 68º west[a] to a point about 375 metres east of Sutton Road and about 75 metres north of Carding Mill Brook;
  • on the southwest, beginning north of Carding Mill Brook, then running northwesterly along the prolongation of the southwestern line of a grant to William Brown Sr. and the grant itself to a cove northeasterly of the junction of Rasche Street and St. Patrick's Drive, then into the Miramichi River;
  • including Middle Island in the Miramichi.

Evolution of boundaries

[edit]

In 1814 the western line was about 300 metres west of Harper Road, along the western line of a grant to William McCallum and its prolongation inland.[11] The southern boundary ran eight miles up the River from its mouth, "or until it intersects the before mentioned line [...] forming the rear of the said Parishes of Wellington and Carleton".[b] If the line continues along the Northwest Branch rather than the main body of the river then eight miles from the mouth of the Napan is roughly where the prolongation of the McCallum grant strikes the Napan.

In 1850 the parish was extended west to its modern boundary and the southern boundary was altered slightly, establishing the modern boundaries.[12] Several pieces of territory on either side of the river were exchanged with Glenelg.

Communities

[edit]

Communities at least partly within the parish.[13][14][17] bold indicates an incorporated municipality

Bodies of water

[edit]

Bodies of water[c] at least partly within the parish.[13][14][17]

Islands

[edit]

Other notable places

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ By the magnet of 1850,[12] when declination in the area was between 20º and 21º west of north.[15] The Territorial Division Act clause referring to magnetic direction bearings was omitted in the 1952[16] and 1973 Revised Statutes.[2]
  2. ^ Uses of long s in the text have been modernised for readability.
  3. ^ Not including brooks, ponds or coves.
