Lanark County is a county and census division located in the Canadian province of Ontario. Its county seat is Perth, which was first settled in 1816 and was known as a social and political capital before being overshadowed by a city known today as Ottawa. Most European settlements of the county began in 1816, when Drummond, Beckwith and Bathurst townships were named and initially surveyed. The first farm north of the Rideau was cleared and settled somewhat earlier, in 1790. 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.

CHLK-FM, branded as 88.1 myFM, is a Canadian radio station offering an adult contemporary format with a focus on local/regional news programming broadcasting at 88.1 FM in Perth, Ontario. The station was founded by Norm Wright and Brian Perkin in 2007. The station is located at 43 Wilson Street West in the town of Perth, while the antenna is at the top of a Bell Mobility cell tower located at the edge of town on Sproule Road off Lanark Road 511, approximately 1 kilometre (0.62 miles) north of Dufferin Street (Highway 7). The station was licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission on March 14, 2006 and began its first official broadcast day on August 10, 2007 at 6:00am as Lake 88.1. On December 13, 2010, the station received approval from the CRTC to increase the average effective radiated power (ERP) from 700 to 2,800 watts (maximum ERP from 1,350 to 5,400 watts with an average height of antenna above average terrain of 91.5 metres).
