Parish (country subdivision)

A parish is a type of area used by some countries for administrative reasons. It's different from a church parish, so in some places, they call it a civil parish.

Here's a list of countries that use this type of division:

Country or territory Local name Notes
Andorra Parròquia
Antigua and Barbuda Parish
Australia Parish Official use of parishes is done on a state-by-state basis

NSW: Used.[2]

Vic: Used.[3]

Tas: Used until the 20th century, when they were renamed land districts.
