The post office's name was changed from Cape Bald to Cap-Pelé by petition of local residents in 1949. The name was approved on March 2, 1950.[2]

The community's population meets the requirements for "town" status under the Municipalities Act of the Province of New Brunswick; however, there has been no move to change municipal status. The community centres on the intersection of Route 945 and Route 133 but extends to Route 950.

The village was founded by Acadians in 1780 and incorporated as a municipality in 1969. Fishing is the dominant industry, and the town is home to several smoked herring processing plants known locally as boucannières. As many as 30 smokehouses are found in Cap-Pelé and its surrounding areas. Work in the smokehouses tends to be seasonal, and during the summertime certain smokehouses offer guided tours.

Cap-Pelé is home to the well known Aboiteau Beach that stretches out for approximately 2.5 kilometres (1½ miles), located inside Aboiteau Park. The beachside complex offers many services including a licensed restaurant with seafood and bar service, a gift shop and a patio overlooking the strait.
