Wellington is a geographic parish in Kent County, New Brunswick, Canada.[4]
For governance purposes it is divided between the towns of Champdoré and Grand-Bouctouche, the village of Five Rivers,[a] and the incorporated rural community of Beausoleil,[5] all of which are members of the Kent Regional Service Commission,[6] and the Buctouche 16 Indian reserve, which is not.
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between the town of Bouctouche,[7] the Indian reserve, the incorporated rural community of Cocagne, and the local service districts of Grand Saint-Antoine, Sainte-Anne-de-Kent and the parish of Wellington, which included areas with enhanced services named Bouctouche Cove, Desroches, Dixon Point-Route 134, Wellington - Dixon Point-Route 134, and Saint-Grégoire.[8] Bouctouche and Sainte-Anne-de-Kent became part of Grand-Bouctouche, Grand Saint-Antoine part of Champdoré, Cocagne part of Beaulsoleil, and the LSD of the parish of Wellington was split between all four new municipalities.
