Rothesay is a civil parish in Kings County, New Brunswick, Canada.[2]
For governance purposes it is divided between the towns of Rothesay and Quispamsis[3] and the local service district of the parish of Rothesay,[4] all of which are members of the Fundy Regional Service Commission (FRSC).[5]
Origin of name
The parish may been named in honour of the Duke of Rothesay, one of the hereditary titles of the Prince of Wales, who visited the area in 1860[6] as part of his tour of North America.
History
Rothesay was erected from Hampton Parish in 1870.[7]
In 1873 the boundary with Hampton was clarified among the islands of Hammond River and altered to run along grant lines on the mainland.[8]
