History

An Ottawa Indian village stood at the site of Charloe, [1] and the community was named for Charloe Peter, an Indian chief. [2]

Charloe was the county seat of Paulding County in the 1840s, [2] but lost its county seat status to Paulding in 1851, prompting the former community's decline. [3]

A post office was also established at Charloe in 1840, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1905. [4]
