History

After creation in 1855, the territory of the township was successively partitioned in 1857, 1863 and 1878 to form to the new municipalities of Franklin, Havelock and the Village of Hemmingford respectively. [5]

Geography

The township of Hemmingford is located due south of Montreal in the Jardins-de-Napierville in the Montérégie region, in the south-east corner of the former Huntingdon County. It sits between what was the Seigniory of Beauharnois and Seigniory of Lacolle. Prior to its survey in 1792 and 1793, the Township was called "Waste lands". Since the mid 1800's Hemmingford has been known as being part of one of the main apple producing regions in Quebec.

The township borders the townships of Havelock, St-Chrysostome, St-Clotilde, Sherrington, and St-Bernard-de-Lacolle. Its southern border is the Canada–United States border with Clinton County, in New York State.
