Rivière-Verte is a geographic parish in Madawaska County, New Brunswick, Canada. For governance purposes it is divided between the city of Edmundston, the town of Vallée-des-Rivières, and the Northwest rural district, all of which are members of the Northwest Regional Service Commission. Before the 2023 governance reforms, the village of Rivière-Verte included what is now part of Edmundston, while the parish outside the village formed the local service district of the parish of Rivière-Verte.

Origin of name

The parish probably takes its name from the Green River, a tributary of the Saint John River, which takes its name from the colour of its water.
