(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Boundaries[edit]Pennfield Parish is bounded:[2][6][7]on the north by a line running true west from the southernmost corner of Queens County;on the east by a line running true north from the mouth of the Pocologan River;on the west by the prolongation north and south of the western line of grants straddling Lake Utopia, then south along a line running through the Letang River and Letang Harbour;on the south by the Bay of Fundy.also including any islands within 2 miles (3.2\u00a0km) of the shore and The Wolves, a group of islands more than 5 miles (8.0\u00a0km) offshore.Evolution of boundaries[edit]Pennfield’s original northern boundary was a prolongation of the southern line of the Cape Association grant in Saint David Parish,[5] which runs south of Robinson Creek Road in Saint David Ridge. The prolongation passes near the northern end of Loon Lake in Clarendon Parish before striking the Queens County line. A small part of Saint George Parish near the head of the Letang River was also part of Pennfield; all islands in the river and Letang Harbour were part of Saint George.In 1814 the parish was extended north[a] to the county line,[8] adding the rest of Clarendon.In 1850 the boundary with Saint George Parish near the head of the Letang River was changed to its modern line.[9]In 1857 the eastern part of Pennfield was erected as LePreau Parish.[10]In 1868 all of the parish north of the most southern point of Queens County was included in the Clarendon District, a polling district that also included the northern part of Lepreau Parish.[11]In 1869 the northern part of Pennfield was included in the newly erected Clarendon Parish.[12]In 1877 the boundary through the Letang River and Letang Harbour was changed, transferring some islands to Pennfield.[13]Municipality[edit]The village of Blacks Harbour sits at the southwestern corner of the parish’s mainland.[14]Local service districts[edit]Both LSDs assess for the basic LSD services of fire protection, police services, land use planning, emergency measures, and dog control.[15]Pennfield Parish[edit]The local service district of the parish of Pennfield originally included all of the parish outside Blacks Harbour.The LSD was established in 1970 to assess for fire protection.[16] First aid and ambulance services were added in 1979.[17]Today the LSD additionally assesses for community & recreation services.[15] The taxing authority is 512.00 Pennfield.Beaver Harbour[edit]Beaver Harbour comprises an area on the western side of Beaver Harbour, including the eastern part of the old town plat and running north to the junction of Mountain Road and Waite’s Lane.[18] The community of Beaver Harbour outgrew the boundaries of the LSD by 2013.[19]The LSD was established in 1971 to add street lighting and community services.[20] First aid and ambulance services were added in 1979.[17]Today Beaver Harbour additionally assesses street lighting and community & recreation services.[15] The taxing authority is 524.00 Beaver Harbour.Beaver Harbour is the only LSD in Charlotte County with street lighting.Communities[edit]Communities at least partly within the parish.[6][7][21]bold indicates an incorporated municipalityBodies of water[edit]Bodies of water[b] at least partly within the parish.[6][7][21]italics indicate a name no longer in official useLetang River (L’Etang River)Little New RiverLittle Pocologan RiverNew RiverPocologan RiverCripps StreamRed Rock StreamTrout Lake StreamBuckmans CreekCrow CreekWards CreekBeaver HarbourBlacks HarbourCrow HarbourDeadmans HarbourLetang Harbour (L’Etang Harbour)Red Head HarbourSeeleys BasinEastern ChopsThe Basinmore than fifty other officially named lakesIslands[edit]Islands at least partly within the parish.[6][7][21]italics indicates a name no longer in official useCochranes IslandMoose Island (Little Moose Island)Munson IslandPeat IslandPenn IslandTub IslandThe WolvesEastern Wolf IslandFlat Wolf Island (Fatpot Island)Green Rock (Gull Rock)Horseshoe RockSouthern Wolf IslandSpruce Island (Flat Wolf Island)Other notable places[edit]Parks, historic sites, and other noteworthy places at least partly within the parish.[6][7][21][22][23]Lepreau River Wildlife Management AreaNew River Protected Natural AreaPocologan Protected Natural AreaUtopia Wildlife RefugeDemographics[edit]Population[edit]Canada census \u2013 Pennfield community profilePopulation2,222 (+2.4% from 2016)2,170 (-2.2% from 2011)2,218 (-4.5% from 2006)Land area363.75\u00a0km2 (140.44\u00a0sq\u00a0mi)363.86\u00a0km2 (140.49\u00a0sq\u00a0mi)363.88\u00a0km2 (140.49\u00a0sq\u00a0mi)Population density6.1\/km2 (16\/sq\u00a0mi)6.0\/km2 (16\/sq\u00a0mi)6.1\/km2 (16\/sq\u00a0mi)Median age48.8 (M: 48.8, F: 48.8)46.7 (M: 46.5, F: 47.0)44.3 (M: 44.1, F: 44.4)Total private dwellings9459961,099Median household income$60,992$58,972Historical Census Data – Pennfield Parish, New BrunswickYearPop.\u00b1% 1991 2,211\u2014\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 1996 2,275+2.9%YearPop.\u00b1% 2001 2,417+6.2% 2006 2,322\u22123.9%YearPop.\u00b1% 2011 2,218\u22124.5% 2016 2,170\u22122.2%[29][30][31]Language[edit]Canada Census Mother Tongue – Pennfield Parish, New Brunswick[29]CensusTotalEnglishFrenchEnglish & FrenchOtherYearResponsesCountTrendPop\u00a0%CountTrendPop\u00a0%CountTrendPop\u00a0%CountTrendPop\u00a0%20112,1952,045 7.3%93.17%90 38.9%4.10%5 n\/a%0.23%55 18.2%2.50%20062,3052,205 2.6%95.66%55 52.2%2.39%0 100.0%0.00%45 55.6%1.95%20012,4102,265 5.3%93.98%115 39.1%4.77%10 n\/a%0.42%20 20.0%0.83%19962,2402,145n\/a95.76%70n\/a3.12%0n\/a0.00%25n\/a1.12%Access Routes[edit]Highways and numbered routes that run through the parish, including external routes that start or finish at the parish limits:[32]See also[edit]^ Because Pennfield’s northern line was based on Saint George’s, Pennfield probably expanded when Saint George did. This has been the norm in New Brunswick since the first boundary changes in 1787. If Pennfield was an exception, then the boundary was moved north in 1850.^ Not including brooks, ponds or coves.References[edit]^ a b c “Census Profile”. Statistics Canada. 26 October 2022.
