History

One of the earliest inhabitants of the place was Frederick Scriver, a Loyalist who settled there around 1800. Consequently, the place was known for nearly 30 years as Scriver Corners. [1]

On January 1, 1878, the Village Municipality of Hemmingford was founded when it separated from the township. [6] It took the name of the surrounding township, which in turn was named after Hemingford Abbots, in Huntingdonshire, England. [1]
