For governance purposes it is entirely within the town of Grand Falls,[5] which is a member of the Northwest rural district.[6]

Before the 2023 governance reform, a small area along the Saint John River was part of the town of Grand Falls, with the remainder forming the incorporated rural community of Saint-André, itself formed in 2006 by the merger of the village of St. André and the local service district of the parish of Saint-André.[7]

Origin of name

The parish takes its name from the Roman Catholic ecclesiastical parish.[8]

History

Saint-André was erected from Saint-Léonard Parish in 1907.[8]
