The municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc is located west of the big city of London, Ontario. The new municipality was formed after the previous town of Caradoc and the township of Strathroy amalgamated during 2001. Its two largest settlements are Strathroy and Mount Brydges.

Strathroy-Caradoc is a mostly rural municipality. Businesses include chicken and turkey processing and hatching, tobacco and corn. Some industrial products are made in Strathroy, the town's biggest locality and its cultural, industrial and commercial centre.

The settlements which make up Strathroy-Caradoc are predominantly based around the Sydenham River and the southwestern Ontario railways. Three major railway lines make use of the railways, consisting of: the CN or the Canadian National Railway; Chatham Subdivision which connects Windsor and London, Ontario; the CP or Canadian Pacific Railway; Windsor Subdivision, which connects London and Windsor; and the CN Strathroy Subdivision, which connects London and Sarnia.

Municipally, Strathroy-Caradoc is located within Middlesex County. At the provincial and federal levels of government it is represented by the riding of Lambton-Kent-Middlesex.

Strathroy is located 40 kilometres west of the City of London, Ontario, and is the biggest community in Middlesex County outside of London. The community is located near Highway 402 between London and the border to Port Huron, Michigan, USA at Sarnia, Ontario. The economy of Strathroy is diverse, and major industries consist of automotive manufacturing, agriculture and food processing.

Mount Brydges has a small commercial "downtown" featuring mostly local businesses and shops. Local agriculture includes maize, tobacco and wheat. The soil composition of the region is largely sandy, a phenomenon called locally as the "Caradoc Sand Plains", as a result of deposits created on the bottom of the glacial Lake Whittlesey that covered the area around 13,000 years ago.

The village came into existence as a result of the building of the western division of the Great Western Railroad from London City, Ontario to Windsor, Ontario, at the point where it crossed the existing road from Delaware, Ontario to Strathroy. This crossing happened to be at the point of greatest elevation on this division, the railroad having just climbed out of the valley of the Thames River from London. The station was named for Charles John Brydges the Managing Director of the Railroad. Contrary to a previous suggestion the name had nothing to do with an early settler named Mount, who had left the area more than twenty years earlier.

The town likewise consists of the smaller communities of Campbellvale, Cairngorm, Caradoc, Christina, Falconbridge, Glen Oak, Longwood, Melbourne and Muncey.

Strathroy's biggest yearly event is the Strathroy Turkey Festival, likewise referred to as Turkeyfest, run during June. The township is home to the head office of Cuddy Farms, the world's top turkey hatching company.
