History
Situated on the south shore of Chaleur Bay, the community was first settled by Acadians in 1799 (except for the Thompson family who emigrated from Ireland through the port of New York who settled 1784–1790 and was granted land by the Crown in 1824 next to the church property) and incorporated in 1966. River Charlo is one of its neighbourhoods.
On January 1, 2023, Charlo amalgamated with the town of Dalhousie and all or part of five local service districts to form the new town of Heron Bay.[4][5] The community's name remains in official use.[6]
