The Township of Whitewater Region was officially incorporated in 2001 through the amalgamation of the former municipalities of Cobden, Beachburg, Westmeath, and Ross. This milestone marked the beginning of a unified governance structure aimed at enhancing service delivery, community development, and regional identity. Over the past 25 years, the Township has evolved into a vibrant and resilient community, with a strong focus on partnerships, infrastructure, and cultural enrichment.
