Eura is a municipality with a population of 11,600, located in the southern part of the Satakunta region. The municipality itself was established in 1866, but the history of the area reaches much further back. Eura is known for its exceptionally rich prehistory and Kauttua is one of the most notable sites in the industrial history of Finland. In terms of area, the municipality of Eura is large: about 630 square kilometres. In 1970, the municipalities of Hinnerjoki and Honkilahti were merged with Eura, and the municipality of Kiukainen followed in 2009. The Eura church village and Kauttua form the centre of the municipality.

The highest decision-making authority is the Municipal Council with 35 members. The current Council has been elected for the term 1 August 2021–31 May 2025. The Municipal Executive Board comprises 9 members in accordance with the administrative regulation, and each member has a personal deputy. The members are elected for a two-year term. The Municipal Executive Board is responsible for the management and development of the municipality in line with the goals, plans and decisions of the Municipal Council.
