Barrington is a hamlet in the Township of Hemmingford, located at the junction of Rte 219 and Fisher Road. It was previously called Johnson's Corners. Barrington was Mr. Johnson's middle name.[2]
The Barrington Post Office operated from a store at Barrington from 1861 until 1969. It was previously called Johnson's Corners Post Office.
A railway station used to be located about 1 km (0.6 mi)(45.121N/73.573W) north of Barrington at the junction of the Canada Atlantic Railway line to Cantic and the Grand Trunk Railway line to Hemmingford (both now abandoned).[2] On current Google Maps the same spot is called 'The Crutch' - meaning unknown.
