Inverary is a Compact Rural Community and unincorporated place in South Frontenac, Frontenac County in eastern Ontario, Canada. The community was originally called Storrington post office in 1845, for (the now) geographic Storrington Township in which the community lies.[3] It was renamed to Inverary in 1856 by landowner James Campbell after Inveraray, his ancestral home in Scotland,[4] before being officially incorporated in 1860.
