Tracing its roots to the forestry and railway industries, Canterbury was once was home to over 1000 residents and served as a service centre for the surrounding area of western York County.
The village is located west of the Trans-Canada Highway on Route 122.
Canterbury was located on the St. Andrews and Quebec Railway line which was subsequently merged into the New Brunswick Railway and later the Canadian Pacific Railway. CP Rail operated through the village to serve its rail network in the upper Saint John River valley until it abandoned these lines in the early 1990s. The original CPR station still stands off Main Street and the rail line is now a recreational trail.
Canterbury has a school, which educates students from kindergarten to grade 12 all in one building. The school has escaped closure several times, but had its future sealed in 2002 with an extensive construction overhaul and addition of a new gym.
The village was incorporated in the early 1970s and has a village office on Main Street.
