Saint-Paul, New Brunswick

Saint-Paul is a community in Saint-Paul Parish, Kent County, New Brunswick, Canada northwest of Moncton. Its name is sometimes lengthened to match that of the Roman Catholic ecclesiastical parish of Saint-Paul-de-Kent, which can cause confusion with the civil parish of Saint-Paul and (by extension) with the local service district of the parish of Saint-Paul.
