Origin of name

The origin of the parish's name is uncertain, Greenwich being a placename in several of the Thirteen Colonies. Historian William F. Ganong listed Greenwich, England as a possible source,[8] then later added Greenwich Village in New York and Greenwich Street in Hempstead, New York.[9]

Notable is that the names of Kings County's pre-1800 parishes all occur in both New Jersey and North Carolina.[10]

History

Greenwich was erected in 1795 from Kingston Parish.[11]

In 1860 the mainland east of the Saint John River was included in the newly erected parish of Kars.[12]

Boundaries

Greenwich Parish is bounded:[2][13][14][15]

  • on the northwest by the Queens County line;
  • on the northeast by the Saint John River;
  • on the southeast by the Long Reach of the Saint John River;
  • on the southwest by a line beginning at the mouth of Devils Back Brook where the southwestern line of the grant to George Young strikes, then northwesterly along the grant line and its prolongation to the county line at a point about 300 metres northeasterly of the northern end of Mud Lake;
  • including Catons Island, Grassy Island, Isle of Pines, Rocky Island, and Rush Island in Long Reach.

Governance

The entire parish formed the local service district of the parish of Greenwich, established in 1976 to assess for fire protection and first aid and ambulance services. Recreational facilities were added to the assessment in 1995, with first aid and ambulance services removed at the same time.
