Simonds is a geographic parish in Saint John County, New Brunswick, Canada.[4]

For governance purposes Simonds is divided between the village of Fundy-St. Martins[5] and the Fundy rural district,[6] both of which are members of the Fundy Regional Service Commission.[7]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided for governance purposes between the local service districts of Fairfield and the parish of Simonds.[8] Fairfield and most of Simonds helped form Fundy-St. Martins, while the Red Head area of the Simonds LSD was assigned to the rural district.[a]

Contrary to the map image on this page, Simonds does not and never has included the City of Saint John within its boundaries, although Saint John did annex part of Simonds in 1967.[9]
