The surrounding area is largely rural and agricultural, made up of beef and dairy farms. When the whole township is taken into account, the population of Charlton and Dack is about 600.

Charlton is a pretty tiny village, but it's peaceful, quiet, and well-kept.

I've only been through Charlton once. There is a general store, a gas station, a United Church, the Timberline and Moose Haven Lodges for accomodations and activities, and the D&R Variety and the Burger Barn for food. There is also a local Legion, and, of course, some houses. There is also a nice little river and waterfall, with a commemorative plaque about the Charlton Powerhouse. There is also a nice waterfront park with boat luanch access, a playground, and a little beach.

I did some searching on Charlton and Dack Township history, but couldn't find much. So I don't have too much to say.

Oddly enough, I also found an online listing for the Charlton Medical Marijuana Club.

There is likely more, I just couldn't find it online. Email me to add to this page at info (at) highway11 (dot) ca.

I am from a little town called Kenendy NY about 1 hour South of Buffalo, NY. I travel to Charlton about three times a year (10 hour drive both ways).This is where I bought the land and built my cabin although you have to travel through Charlton on some dirt roads to get to the narrows between Long Lake and Kinogami lakes, where the cabin is. I have been going up there for 11 years now and am very pleased with how we (Americans) are treated. The people in this region (Charlton and Englehart) are some of the most pleasant people I have ever met. The gentleman who runs the Pro Hardware in Englehart has saved our skins many times when we have needed a bolt or odd plumbing accessory for the cabin. The gentleman at the LCBO has always filled me in on what the weather will be like for our stay. People will go out of their way to show you where to go or what to see or to help with directions and are very friendly. Terry at Moose Heaven Lodge has been a great source of information concerning the surrounding lakes and wildlife as well. We always look forward to going and hate to leave.

The Municipality of Charlton and Dack was created in 2003 by reuniting the former Town of Charlton with the Township of Dack into a single municipality. Charlton's status as a Town was the result of its much larger population before the 1922 fire.
