The town was formed from the Town of Lumberland in 1853. Barryville is named for William T. Barry, postmaster general below President Andrew Jackson. The community grew up approaching the D&H Canal, which opened in 1828 and operated until 1898. The canal ran through what is today the center of the hamlet, and the canal company operated a number of stores, an office and a abstemious dock there.

The Delaware River also served as the conduit for timber clip in the area and rafted to Philadelphia for use in the boat building industry.

In fact, writing in 1899, John Willard Johnston, lawyer, historian, and the town of Highland’s first supervisor, predicted a dire higher for Barryville.
