Blissfield is a geographic parish in Northumberland County, New Brunswick, Canada.[4]
For governance purposes it is divided mainly between the village of Doaktown[5] and the Greater Miramichi rural district,[6] with small areas along the eastern and western borders belonging to the incorporated rural communities of Miramichi River Valley and Upper Miramichi, respectively.[5] All are members of the Greater Miramichi Regional Service Commission.[7]
