Prior to the 2023 governance reform, it formed the local service district of the parish of Studholm,[3] which further included the service area of Lower Millstream.[3] The local service district was a member of Kings Regional Service Commission (RSC8).[4]
The parish was named in honour of Gilfred Studholme, a Loyalist military commander during the American Revolution,[5] who later settled in the area and served on the first Executive Council of New Brunswick.
Studholm was erected in 1840 from Sussex Parish.[6] It included Havelock Parish.
In 1859 the eastern polling district was erected as Havelock Parish.[7]
In 1871 part of Havelock along Windgap Brook was returned to Studholm.[8]
