Campobello is a Canadian parish including one main island and several small islands and islets in Charlotte County, New Brunswick.[2]
Campobello Parish
Campobello Parish was established in 1803 from West Isles Parish. The entire parish was incorporated as the rural community of Campobello Island in 2010.
In 1803, Campobello Island "with its appurtenances" was separated from West Isles Parish to establish Campo-Bello Parish.[3] The boundary description was clarified in 1877 as "[b]eing the Island so named, and other Islands to the south and east of Head Harbour passage, but west of Grand Manan."[4]
The name appeared in government acts as Campo Bello in 1850,[5] 1854,[6] 1877,[4] and 1896,[7] finally appearing as Campobello in 1903.[8]
The local service district of the parish of Campobello was established in 1969 to assess for community services,[9] in this case to contract with an independent agency in Lubec, Maine, to provide ambulance conveyance from Campobello to St. Stephen Hospital.[10] Fire protection was added later in 1969[11] first aid & ambulance services in 1984,[12] and recreational facilities in 1998.[13]
The entire parish was incorporated as the Rural Community of Campobello Island in November 2010[14] and the LSD dissolved.[15] The geographic parish continues to exist.[16]
