Sainte Anne Parish was established in 1877 from parts of Saint Léonard Parish and Saint Basile Parish. It was probably named for the village of Sainte Anne. Sainte Anne is also the patron saint of the Acadians. (Source:Place Names of New Brunswick)

Sainte Anne Parish would have probably contained parts of Rivière Verte Parish and Notre Dame de Lourdes Parish until they were made into separate parishes in 1935 and 1946 respectively.
