The postal code for both the town and village of Hemmingford is J0L 1H0.

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]
