Barrington is a hamlet in the Township of Hemmingford, located at the junction of Rte 219 and Fisher Road. It was previously called Johnson's Corners. Barrington was Mr. Johnson's middle name.[4]

The Barrington Post Office operated from a store at Barrington from 1861 until 1969. It was previously called Johnson's Corners Post Office.
