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

A railway station used to be located about 1 km (0.6 mi)(45.121N/73.573W) north of Barrington at the junction of the Canada Atlantic Railway line to Cantic and the Grand Trunk Railway line to Hemmingford (both now abandoned).[4] On current Google Maps the same spot is called 'The Crutch' - meaning unknown. Barrington Station was also known as Johnson's Station. A recreation of the station with original sign is located at Canadian Railway Museum in Delson, Quebec.[5]
