History
Sheffield Parish created in 1786: named for John Baker-Holroyd, 1st Earl of Sheffield (1735-1821): included part of Northfield Parish until 1857.
Delineation

Southeast by the County line; east by the westerly side line of lot numbered nine in the New Zion Settlement granted to Gideon Corey, and its northerly and southerly prolongations; northwest by Maugerville Parish, and southwest by the Saint John River, including Middle Island.Governance
The entire parish forms the local service district of the parish of Sheffield, established in 1966 to assess for fire protection. Community services were added in 1968 and first aid and ambulance services in 1978.
