Lanark County is a county located in the Canadian province of Ontario. Its county seat is Perth, which was first settled in 1816[2] and was known as a social and political capital before being over shadowed by what we now know as Ottawa.[3]

Most European settlements of the county began in 1816, when Drummond, Beckwith and Bathurst townships were named and initially surveyed.[4] The first farm north of the Rideau was cleared and settled somewhat earlier, in 1790.[5] The county took its name from the town of Lanark in Scotland. Nearly all the townships were named after British public and military figures from the era of early settlement.[5]
