Charlo (/ˈʃɑːrloʊ/ SHAR-loh)[2] is a community in Heron Bay in Restigouche County, New Brunswick.[3] It was a village from 1966 to 2023, when it was amalgamated with Dalhousie to form the town of Heron Bay.

History

See also: History of New Brunswick and List of historic places in Restigouche County, New Brunswick

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]

Infrastructure

The Charlo Airport, the only airport in the region, offered scheduled air service between 1963 and 2001. In October 2012, Provincial Airlines began trial flights at the Charlo Airport.[15] In January 2013, after deeming that there was sufficient demand, they made the trial flights permanent. They currently provide direct flights between Charlo, New Brunswick, Wabush, Newfoundland, and Halifax, Nova Scotia.[16]

VIA Rail's train, The Ocean, makes stops on request at the Charlo station, a flag stop platform.[17] The station shelter was demolished, along with nearby Jacquet River station, in October 2021.[18]
