Hampstead Parish, New Brunswick

Hampstead is a geographic parish in Queens County, New Brunswick, Canada.

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, for governance purposes it was divided between CFB Gagetown and the local service district of Hampstead, which was a member of Capital Region Service Commission (RSC11). The Saint John River islands are not part of the local service district.

The parish was probably named for Hempstead, New York, source of some of the Loyalist settlers of the parish.

Hampstead was erected in 1786 as one of the county's original parishes.

In 1838 the rear of the parish was included in the newly erected Petersville Parish.

In 1895 the eastern half of Long Island was transferred to Wickham Parish.

New Brunswick's last surviving African Canadian community, Elm Hill, was established here in 1806.
