Prior to the 2023 governance reform, for governance purposes it was comprised two local service districts (LSD),[3] both of which were members of the Western Valley Regional Service Commission (WVRSC).[4]
The Census subdivision of Aberdeen Parish shares the geographic parish's borders.[1] Revised census figures based on the 2023 local governance reforms have not been released.
Aberdeen, Scotland was the source of many settlers of Glassville Settlement.[5] Also possible is that the parish was named in honour of either the Earl of Aberdeen,[6] a former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom who died shortly before Glassville was settled, or his youngest son Arthur Hamilton-Gordon, who was Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick when the parish was erected.[5]
Aberdeen was erected in 1863 from Brighton, Kent, and Peel Parishes.[7] Most of the parish had formed the southeastern part of Kent, with Peel and Brighton providing a strip of territory along their northern edge.
Aberdeen Parish is bounded:[2][8][9]
The original boundaries of Aberdeen have changed little, unusual among Carleton County's parishes.
In 1896 the northwestern corner and northern boundary were changed to better match grant lines, taking a long narrow triangle of territory from Kent Parish while losing a few acres in the northwestern corner.[10]
In 1956 the western boundary was altered slightly, transferring a Crown Reserved Road[lower-alpha 1] to Kent Parish.[12] This may have been an error, as the same Act corrected two wording errors that dated to 1896.
Both LSDs assessed for the basic LSD services of fire protection, police services, land use planning, emergency measures, and dog control.[13]
The local service district of the parish of Aberdeen originally comprised the entire parish.
It was established 23 November 1966[14] to assess for fire protection. Community services were added on 20 December 1967.[15]
