Creation of Albert County Passed Provincial Legislature 175 Years Ago - March 27, 1845

The 175th Anniversary of the passing of the Albert County Act was recognized in the New Brunswick Provincial Legislature on Friday, March 27, 2020. The Act to form our county was passed by the Provincial Legislature on March 27, 1845, and did not become law until it was passed by the Queen’s Council in London, England on August 8, 1845. Thank you to our MLA Minister Mike Holland, who announced greetings and congratulations on March 11, 2020 from the floor of the Legislature. The Original Act is included in this post. You will notice that sections are “X’d” out, and this is because when an act is updated, the repealed text is shown with the most current version.
