Prior to the 2023 governance reform, for governance purposes it was divided between the villages of Aroostook and Perth-Andover[3] and the local service district of the parish of Andover,[4] all of which were members of the Western Valley Regional Service Commission (WVRSC).[5]
Historian William F. Ganong related that the local explanation was that it was named by a Mr. Sisson, who came from Andover, England.[6]
Andover was erected in 1833 in Carleton County from Kent Parish.[7] The parish extended to above Grand Falls, New Brunswick, taking in most of Grand Falls Parish.
In 1850 the parish was extended north to where the Saint John River crosses the international boundary.[8]
In 1853 all of Andover north of the Aroostook River was included in the newly erected Grand Falls Parish.[9]
