Origin of name

The parish was named in honour of John Colborne, acting Governor General of the Canadas when the parish was erected.[5]

History

Colborne was erected in 1840 from Addington and Beresford Parishes.[6] Colborne comprised Restigouche County between the Benjamin and Eel Rivers.

In 1850 the boundaries were altered to run due south from starting points near the coast: the western boundary from milepost forty-eight on the great road (highway) from Bathurst to Dalhousie, the eastern boundary from the mouth of the Benjamin River.[7]
