Elgin is a geographic parish in the interior of Albert County, New Brunswick, Canada,[4] the only one of the county's parishes that does not border either the Bay of Fundy or the Petitcodiac River.
For governance purposes, Elgin is divided between the town of Salisbury, the village of Three Rivers,[5] and the Southeast rural district,[6] all of which are members of the Southeast Regional Service Commission.[7]
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between two local service districts, Elgin (often called Elgin Centre) and the parish of Elgin.[8]
