Barrington, Residential village across Cook and Lake Counties, Illinois.
Located approximately 252 meters above sea level, Barrington spans across two counties with numerous parks, recreational facilities, and suburban residential areas.
Established in 1865 as a railroad town, Barrington developed from a transportation hub into a substantial suburban community in northeastern Illinois.
The Barrington White House functions as a central venue for musical performances, art exhibitions, and community gatherings throughout the calendar year.
The village administration provides residents with building permits, emergency alerts, and regular Committee of the Whole sessions for community input.
Third Thursday Art Night Out events transform the downtown area into an open gallery, allowing local artists to display their works monthly.
