In the 1920s there was a river boat service from Settlement 12 to Settlement 186, stopping at Pueblo Nuevo, Caledonia and Settlement 227. On the return trip to the city they would carry goods from the villages. From Caledonia they loaded pigs, alligator skins, and tobacco leaves bound into bundles. But after the Road 11 was constructed towards Settlement 12 in the 1930s, the river boat traffic died out.[1]
In 2013 a construction company destroyed a 2,000-year-old Mayan pyramid at the nearby Noh Mul Archaeological Site using bulldozers to extract gravel for road fill, sparking outrage and comments from NGOs and archaeologists around the world.[2]
The Catholic School had 57 students in 1927 and 55 in 1928.[3][4]
From at least 1917[5] to 1927[3] Caledonia had a catholic mission under the St. Stephen's Church, from Settlement 227, but then in 1928[4] it was transferred to the Church of St. Francis Xavier from Settlement 64.
The Caledonia Church is under the North Belize Mission Conference (Settlement 64) in the Belize Union Mission (Settlement 12) of the Inter-American Division (Miami, Florida) of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. In 2025 they had 124 members.[6]
