- The place is named for Montrealer George Desbarats, who in the 1840s obtained a ligence to work mines on the shore ofL. Huron. The post office was established as Desbarats in 1895.
- . Just west of Desbarats, Hwy 17 passes through a large rockcut with prominent ripple marks carved into it. These were caused by shoreline waves about two billion years ago.
