Ludlow Parish is in the southwest of Northumberland, New Brunswick, Canada. The parish was established in 1814. It was named for Gabriel George Ludlow (1736-1808), first mayor of Saint John and Colonial Administrator of New Brunswick in 1803; and George Duncan Ludlow (1734-1808), first chief justice of New Brunswick from 1784-1808. The parish included Blissfield Parish and Blackville Parish until 1830 and also most of Huskisson Parish and Harcourt Parish in Kent County, until 1826. (Source:Place Names of New Brunswick)
