Both municipalities are locally referred to collectively as Hemmingford.

The two share many things, such as the cost of the volunteer fire department and both hold their councils and offices in the same building in the village.

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

One of the earliest inhabitants of the place was Frederick Scriver, a Loyalist who settled there around 1800.

[1] On January 1, 1878, the Village Municipality of Hemmingford was founded when it separated from the township.
