Nestled in the capital's civic centre on 3 Sevens Road in May Pen Clarendon, the Clarendon Municipal Corporation is the hallmark of the mayoral office, Administrative, and Technical Departments, which manage the parish's affairs while providing essential public services to communities.
The Corporation consists of 22 elected representatives, known as councillors, who meet monthly to discuss matters, correspondence, and petitions from all its citizens.
The first Parochial Board Meeting was convened on 1 October 1885 in May Pen, Clarendon, signalling the origin of The Parish Council of Clarendon. May Pen was significantly mentioned in Law 20 of 1867, which states that the parishes of Clarendon and Vere shall constitute one parish under the name Clarendon, and the town of May Pen shall be the chief town. May Pen was made capital in 1938 and was granted mayoral status in 1962.
