Hemmingford, is a township in south-west Quebec founded in 1799. In 1877, the Township was separated, creating two separate entities; the Township of Hemmingford and the Village of Hemmingford. The township completely surrounds the Village of Hemmingford. The two entities (village and township) 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 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".

The township borders the townships of Havelock, St-Chrysostome, St-Clotilde, Sherrington, and St-Bernard-de-Lacolle and also borders Clinton County, in New York State.

Some of the local attractions include Parc Safari, [http://www.golfhemmingford.com/ The Hemmingford Golf and Country Club] , and many local apple growers.
