For governance purposes it is divided between the town of Heron Bay,[5] the Moose Meadows 4 Indian reserve, and the Restigouche rural district;[6] the town and rural district are both members of the Restigouche Regional Service Commission.[7]
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between the village of Charlo,[5] the Indian reserve, and the local service districts of Charleur and Lorne.[8] In the 2023 reform, Charlo merged with the town of Dalhousie to form Heron Bay, which annexed Heron Island and the communities of Benjamin River, Blackland, and New Mills from Chaleur;[5] Lorne and the remainder of Chaleur became part of the rural district.[6]
The parish was named in honour of John Colborne, acting Governor General of the Canadas when the parish was erected.[9]
Colborne was erected in 1840 from Addington and Beresford Parishes.[10] Colborne comprised Restigouche County between the Benjamin and Eel Rivers.
In 1850 the boundaries were altered to run due south from starting points near the coast: the western boundary from milepost forty-eight on the great road (highway) from Bathurst to Dalhousie, the eastern boundary from the mouth of the Benjamin River.[11]
