It was created on 6 August 1800 for John Bingham.{{London Gazette |issue=15281 |date=5 August 1800 |page=890}} He was a descendant of John Bingham of Foxford in County Mayo, whose brother Sir Henry Bingham, 1st Baronet, of Castlebar, was the ancestor of the Earls of Lucan. The first Baron's great-great-great-grandson, the seventh Baron, was a spy and crime novelist (as John Bingham). {{As of|2010}} the title is held by the latter's son, the eighth Baron, who succeeded in 1988.
