History
Upham Parish was established in 1835: named for Joshua Upham (1741-1808), a Loyalist officer in the King's American Dragoons, a Harvard law graduate, and a judge of the New Brunswick Supreme Court in 1784: included Hammond Parish until 1858.
Delineation
Upham Parish is defined in the Territorial Division Act as being bounded:
North by Norton and Sussex Parishes; east by a line commencing at the southeast corner of lot number one, granted to Samuel DeForest, near Cassidy Lake, and running a north and south course from thence; south by the County line, and westerly by a line starting from a point on the County line, where the westerly side line of a three hundred acre lot, granted to Thomas Smith, or its prolongation, meets the said County line, and running northwesterly along the side line of said lot to its most westerly corner; thence a course easterly to the northeasterly angle of a three hundred acre lot granted to Richard E. Armstrong, and thence easterly in a direct line to the northeasterly angle of lot number two, granted to Robert Godfrey; thence northerly by a direct line to the southeasterly angle of lot number six, granted to William Scoullar; thence following the easterly side line of said Scoullar grant to its northeasterly corner on the Hammond River; thence following or crossing the said Hammond River to the southeasterly corner of a five hundred acre lot, granted to Charles Robertson; thence along the easterly side line of said Robertson grant to its northeasterly corner; and thence in a direct line to the northeasterly corner of a two hundred acre lot granted to James Beyea, where is standing a maple tree, and continuing the same course beyond the said maple tree to the Old Westmorland Road.Governance
