Neighbour municipalities are Hartola, Heinola, Hirvensalmi, Mäntyharju and Joutsa. Pertunmaa became an independent municipality in 1926 when it was separated from Mäntyharju. Hartola's old wooden church was moved to Pertunmaa and it was inaugurated in 1927.
Due to the long-lasting economic difficulties, Pertunmaa will be incorporated into Mäntyharju from January 1, 2025.[7]
