Weldford is a Canadian parish found in Kent County, New Brunswick, Canada that was established in 1835 with a local Agricultural Association and named for John W Weldon and John P. Ford, who were Members of the Legislative Assembly for Kent County in 1835.

A 1920s newspaper article states "The first Representative for the County of Kent was Judge Weldon who returned in 1828 and continued as sole member until representation was increased and Mr. J. P. Ford, formerly of Halifax, who built the Fords Mills in the Richibucto River returned with him. Colonel David McAlmon subsequently took Mr. Ford's place and he and Judge Weldon were returned for four years. McAlmon was later substituted for Senator Wark and he and Weldon were members until 1850."

In the 2011 Census Weldford had a population of 1,318.

Governance

The entire parish forms the local service district of the parish of Waterford, established in 1966 to assess for fire protection. Non-fire related rescue was added in 2012. First aid and ambulance services (1982–2012) were formerly included.
