Prior to the 2023 governance reform, for governance purposes it was divided between the village of Harvey and the local service district of the parish of Manners Sutton, both of which were members of the Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission (SNBSC).
Origin of name The parish was named in honour of John Manners-Sutton, 3rd Viscount Canterbury, Ganong mistakenly gives his name as H.T. Manners-Sutton Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick at the time. Canterbury Parish was erected at the same time.
