Shediac is a geographic parish in Westmorland County, New Brunswick, Canada.[4]

For governance purposes it is divided between the city of Dieppe,[5] the towns of Cap-Acadie[5] and Shediac,[5] the incorporated rural communities of Beausoleil[6] and Maple Hills,[5] and the Southeast rural district.[a] Beausoleil is a members of the Kent Regional Service Commission, with the rest all belonging to the Southeast Regional Service Commission.[7]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between Dieppe,[8] Shediac,[8] the village of Cap-Pelé,[8] the rural community of Beaubassin East,[9] and the local service districts of Grande-Digue, Pointe-du-Chêne, Scoudouc, Scoudouc Road, Shediac Bridge-Shediac River, Shediac Cape, and the parish of Shediac.[10] With minor boundary changes, Grande-Digue and Shediac Bridge-Shediac River are now part of Beausoleil; Pointe-du-Chêne, Scoudouc, Scoudouc Road, and Shediac Cape were annexed by Shediac; Cap-Pelé and Beaubassin East merged to form Cap-Acadie; and the Shediac Parish LSD was divided between Beausoleil and Maple Hills.

Origin of name

The parish's name comes the community of Shediac, itself from a corruption of Mi'kmaq Es-ed-ei'-ik, translated by Rand as "running far back." There was a Fort Shediac mentioned in documents around 1755, on the mainland opposite Shediac Island.[11]

History

Shediac was erected in 1827 from Dorchester and Sackville Parishes.[12] The eastern boundary was at the mouth of the Kouchibouguac River.

In 1850 the eastern boundary was moved to run through Cap-Pelé.[13]

In 1894 the existing boundaries were declared retroactive to the parish's erection.[14]

In 1904 the boundary with Botsford Parish was clarified.[15]
