Origin of name

The parish was named in honour of William Huskisson, President of the Board of Trade at the time of its erection[4] and one of the plenipotentiaries of boundary negotiations with the United States in 1826.[5]

Addington Parish was named at the same time for the other British plenipotentiary, Henry Unwin Addington.

History

In 1827 Huskisson was erected from unassigned territory north of the Richibucto River,[6] comprising a shallower area than it has today.

In 1850 the southern boundary was extended[7] to include an area annexed by the county in 1845.[8]
