On January 1, 1998, the former Townships of Ellice, Mornington, North Easthope, South Easthope and the Village of Milverton officially restructured to become the Township of Perth East. The new municipality has over 7,000 hectares, 4,000 households and a total population of approximately 12,000.
The Municipal Administrative Centre is in Milverton, which is the largest, fully serviced urban centre within the Municipality.
Major economic development within the new municipality includes: Agriculture, Farm Related Businesses, Millwrighting, Metal Fabrication, Water Pump Sales, Distribution and Repair, Tourism, and Home Based Businesses.
Histories of the former municipalities provide a wonderful walk through the past when settlement began in this area.
