Description From Owner:

The French called the place Le Passage and the Mi'kmaq called it Ministiguish or Ministegek. For a time it was Barrington Head because of its position at the head of Barrington Bay.
Settled in 1760 by families from Marblehead, Nantucket, Plymouth and Cape Cod in New England. In 1765 they built a meeting house which still stands.
Barrington and Barrington Passage were named in 1767 for William W. Barrington (1717-1793), Britain's chancellor of the exchequer.
