For governance purposes it is part of the incorporated rural community of Kedgwick,[5] which is a member of the Restigouche Regional Service Commission.[6]
Before the 2023 governance reform, the local service district (LSD) of White's Brook straddled the eastern boundary of the parish along Route 17.[7] Most of the parish formed the LSD of the parish of Grimmer until its merger with the village of Kedgwick on 1 July 2012 to form the rural community.[8]
The parish was named in honour of W.C.H. Grimmer, former Surveyor General and Attorney General of New Brunswick.[9]
Grimmer was erected in 1916 from Eldon Parish.[10] Grimmer included Saint-Quentin Parish.
In 1921 Saint-Quentin was erected as its own parish.[11]
