In 1847, the municipality of the Township of Hinchinbrooke was abolished and became part of the County Municipality of Beauharnois. Eight years later, it was re-established under the same name, with its territory reduced to exclude the part within the boundaries of the Village Municipality of Huntingdon, which was created in 1848. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e703376 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e703376\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The first inhabitants, of Irish descent, began settling in the area around 1820.

In this regard, the municipal name, which was long spelled as Hinchinbrook, adopted its current spelling in 1993.
