'''Hemmingford''' is a [[village municipality (Quebec)|village municipality]] located in [[Les Jardins-de-Napierville Regional County Municipality]] of southern [[Quebec]]. The population as of 2021 was 829.
It was founded in 1878 by the division of the [[Hemmingford, Quebec (township)|Township of Hemmingford]] creating two separate entities: the Township and the Village of Hemmingford. 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 village of Hemmingford is surrounded by the [[Hemmingford, Quebec (township)|Township of Hemmingford]]. The centre of the village is at the intersection of [[Quebec Route 219|Route 219]] and [[Quebec Route 202|Route 202]].
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.<ref name="toponymie"/>
On January 1, 1878, the Village Municipality of Hemmingford was founded when it separated from the township.<ref name=maires>{{cite web |title=Répertoire des entités géopolitiques: Hemmingford (village) 1.1.1878 - ... |url=https://www.mairesduquebec.com/mairesduquebec/munic.php?id=1548 |website=www.mairesduquebec.com |publisher=Institut généalogique Drouin |access-date=2 May 2024}}</ref> It took the name of the surrounding township, which in turn was named after [[Hemingford Abbots]], in Huntingdonshire, England.<ref name="toponymie"/>
