Dufferin is a civil parish in Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada,[4] located east of St. Stephen.
For governance purposes, the entire parish is part of the town of the Municipal District of St. Stephen,[5] which is a member of the Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission.[6]
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, it comprised a single local service district (LSD), which was a member of the Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission (SNBSC).[7]
The Census subdivision of the same name shares the parish's boundaries.[1]
Origin of name
The parish was named for the Earl of Dufferin,[lower-alpha 1] who was Governor General of Canada at time.[8]

Dufferin was erected in 1873 from Saint Stephen Parish.[9]

Local service district
The local service district of the parish of Dufferin comprised the entire parish.[12]
The LSD was established in 1969 to assess for community services,[13] in this case to provide ambulance service after local funeral homes ceased doing so.[14] Fire protection was added in 1970.[15]
In 2021, the LSD assesses for only the basic LSD services of fire protection, police services, land use planning, emergency measures, and dog control.[16] The taxing authority is 509.00 Dufferin.
