About COUNTY OF LANARK
Lanark County is a county located in the Canadian province of Ontario. Its county seat is Perth, which was first settled in 1816. Most European settlements of the county began in 1816, when Drummond, Beckwith and Bathurst townships were named and initially surveyed.

Nearly all the townships were named after British public and military figures from the era of early settlement.
