About Perth County
The area
Perth County, in the middle of southwestern Ontario, covers about 2,220 km² and had about 81,600 people in 2021. The City of Stratford (about 33,200) and the Town of St. Marys (about 7,400) lie inside it but govern themselves; the county serves four rural municipalities: North Perth (about 15,500, centred on Listowel), Perth East (about 12,600, with Milverton and Shakespeare), West Perth (about 9,000, around Mitchell) and Perth South (about 3,800). It is almost all farmland, with about 90% of the land in soil capability classes 1 to 3, the top of the national scale. Perth East has Amish and Mennonite communities.
History
The land is the traditional territory of the Attawandaron (Neutral), Odawa, Huron-Wendat and Mississauga peoples. Much of it falls within the Huron Tract Purchase (Treaty 29) of 1827 between the Crown and the Chippewa Nation, and the Canada Company sold it to settlers; the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation hold that the treaty did not give up their lands. Railway work carried Stratford for nearly 80 years; as it pulled out in the early 1950s, local journalist Tom Patterson and the city started the Stratford Festival, which opened in July 1953.
Services and access
Stratford General, St. Marys Memorial and Listowel Memorial hospitals each run a 24-hour emergency department; larger specialty hospitals are in London and Kitchener. Highway 7/8 links Stratford with Kitchener-Waterloo, about 45 km away; London is about 60 km and Toronto about 150 km. Highways 8 and 23 meet in Mitchell. The nearest scheduled flights leave from Region of Waterloo International Airport at Breslau. Farming, food processing and manufacturing lead the economy, with tourism centred on Stratford.
Land and climate
The headwaters of five rivers rise here: the North Thames, Nith, Maitland, Ausable and Bayfield, draining toward Lake Huron, Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie. Development on farmland relies on private wells and septic systems.
Before you buy
The county official plan (2026) covers the four rural municipalities, not Stratford or St. Marys. Each issues building permits and passes its own zoning bylaw, and the county decides severances. On land designated Agriculture, the only new residential lot allowed is a house left surplus when a farmer buys another farm, and splitting original 40.5 ha farm lots is discouraged. New houses and lots must meet the province's Minimum Distance Separation (MDS) setbacks from livestock barns and manure storage, which may need an assessment before a building permit. Four conservation authorities (Upper Thames, Maitland Valley, Ausable Bayfield and Grand River) regulate floodplains, wetlands and erosion areas, where work may need their permit; in most of the county the whole floodplain counts as floodway, closed to new building. A county bylaw controls cutting in woodlots.
