Charlo (/ˈʃɑːrloʊ/ SHAR-loh)[2] is a community and former village located in Heron Bay, New Brunswick, Canada.[3] It held village status within Restigouche County prior to 2023.
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]
Demographics
In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Charlo had a population of 1,323 living in 632 of its 724 total private dwellings, a change of 1% from its 2016 population of 1,310. With a land area of 31.45 km2 (12.14 sq mi), it had a population density of 42.1/km2 (109.0/sq mi) in 2021.[7]
