Hampton is a town in Kings County, New Brunswick, Canada.
Located on the Kennebecasis River 30 kilometres northeast of Saint John, Hampton is the shire town of Kings County. It functioned as the seat of county government between 1870[2] and 1966 (when county governments were abolished) and is today a service centre for the central Kennebecasis River valley, as well as being a suburb of Saint John. Hampton also has its own RCMP detachment that was built in 1999.
On 1 January 2023, Hampton was greatly enlarged by annexing all or part of four local service districts;[3][4] revised census figures have not been released.
