Charbonneau began in 1972 as a nine-hole golf course and 228 town homes; it now has a population of about 3,500 living in 1,158 multi-family units and 510 houses with an integrated 27-hole golf course.[3] There is also a small commercial district with about 10 shops including a grocery store and restaurant.[4] As one of the oldest communities of its type in Oregon, its construction helped lead to the adoption of land-use planning and an urban growth boundary to attempt to prevent urban sprawl.[4]
Charbonneau's 200 primary and secondary students are served by the Canby School District.[4]
