Counties of New Brunswick

This is a list of the counties in the Canadian province of New Brunswick, with shire towns in parentheses. It must be noted that since 1966, counties in New Brunswick serve virtually no purpose except the court system, and as geographical expressions of location (i.e., most citizens always know which county they are in). They still appear on most maps. Prior to Equal Opportunity in 1966, counties were the uppermost of the complicated three-tiered local government system in New Brunswick. Below each county were numerous parishes, then municipalities for some areas, while some went only as far down as the parish. See List of parishes in New Brunswick also. All municipalities reported to their parish and then to their county, with the exception of the City of Saint John. Saint John did not report to a Parish, but it did report to the County of St. John.

Equal Opportunity helped get rid of this confusing municipal system in New Brunswick. Municipalities report directly to the province's department responsible for local governments with no upper-tier in between.
