Weldford is a geographic parish in Kent County, New Brunswick, Canada.[4]
For governance purposes it is divided between the villages of Five Rivers and Nouvelle-Arcadie,[5] which are both members of the Kent Regional Service Commission,[6] and the Richibucto 15 Indian reserve, which is not.
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, all of the parish outside the Indian reserve formed the local service district of the parish of Weldford.[7]
