It is located along the Grande Prairie-Grande Cache Railway tracks, north of Alberta Highway 49, between Wanham and Girouxville. It is part of census division No. 19 and is administered by Birch Hills County.[1]
The community has the name of one Octavie Belloy, an opera singer who entertained Belgian troops.[2]
Agriculture is the main activity in the community, which was built around cattle farming. Services for the oil and gas industry are another part of the economy.
The community lies in the Peace River Country of northern Alberta, in the Birch Hills south of the Peace River.
