Acadieville is a geographic parish in Kent County, New Brunswick, Canada.
For governance purposes it is almost entirely within the village of Nouvelle-Arcadie, with a small area on the eastern boundary part of the Kent rural district, both of which are members of the Kent Regional Service Commission.
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between the village of Rogersville and the local service district of the parish of Acadieville, which included an area with reduced services named Acadie Siding.
Origin of name William F. Ganong considered the name's origin to be obviously from Acadie.
History Acadieville was erected in 1876 from Carleton Parish. Available as a free ebook from Google Books.
Acadieville Parish was first settled in 1868 by Acadian settlers who rushed to claim the provincial Crown Lands after it was revealed that the surveyed route for the Intercolonial Railway would pass through the area.
In 1869, the Intercolonial Railway's route was modified and it was constructed approximately 10 kilometres to the west.
