Barrington and its
surrounding areas have a rich history dating back to the Blackhawk War of 1832.
Until that time, the area that now includes Barrington had for centuries been
the home to tribes of Pottawatomi and Mascouten Indians. Late that year, under
the terms of a treaty signed by Chief Blackhawk, the migration of the Indians
across the Mississippi River began, thus opening up vast tracts of land along
the Fox River to early settlers who began moving to the area in 1834.
Pioneers who traveled from Troy, New York, by way of the newly renamed City of
Chicago, settled in what would later become Cuba Township in Lake County. Other
settlers, primarily from Vermont, upper New York State, and Massachusetts (most
notably from the Great Barrington area in Berkshire County, Massachusetts),
settled in what is now Cook County. Their settlement was originally called
Miller Grove but was later renamed Barrington Center. It was established at the
point where Sutton Road crosses Route 68. The area’s rich soil and ample water
supply naturally attracted a growing number of farming families throughout the
1830s. These farming families were industrious, courageous people who saw an
opportunity to carve out a prosperous future, not only for themselves but for
those who would follow.
The migration into Barrington Center caused changes and the residents felt the
need to develop a community. The first school house, the Northway School, was
built at Barrington Center early in the 1840s just east of what is now the
Catlow Theatre. Not only was this simple, one-room school the seat of learning
for a growing number of farm youngsters, it also served as the house of worship
for the Methodists and the Congregationalists until completion of their own
churches in 1859. In 1850, at the request of the County Sheriff, the
inhabitants of the various nearby settlements assembled to choose a name for
their township, and to set up a town government. The name they chose for the
township was Barrington.
In 1854, Robert C. Campbell, a civil engineer, completed a detailed plan for a
village to be called Barrington Station. When built, it consisted of a farm
house and a log barn owned by Willard Stevens, and was bounded by what is now
Hough Street, County Line Road, a line east of Spring Street, and a point a few
feet south of Russell Street. The 80 acres within this boundary were the
nucleus of what is today Barrington proper. That same year also brought about
the completion of the northwest extension of the Chicago and Fond-Du-Lac
railroad, later known as the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad. Deer Grove was
the initial home of the railroad station, but in reaction to protests from
residents of Deer Grove, the station was carted a few miles up the track by
flat car to what would soon be the site of Barrington Station.
The homes that sprang up around the Barrington Station were constructed of
logs, as were most homes in rural America at that time. But in 1855, the
Village’s first milled lumber facility began operations. The building that
housed the mill is still a fixture on Franklin Street, a vivid reminder of
Barrington’s rustic past.
In 1863, the 300 people who comprised the population of Barrington Station
decided, in a referendum, to separate local and township powers. This led to
the state legislature’s approval of a charter for the Village of Barrington in
1865.
Not surprisingly, many families from nearby communities saw the potential
advantages of moving to Barrington and having easy access to the railroad and
the growing number of stores that had recently opened. In reaction to this
steady migration, the number and variety of small businesses to set up shop
near the railroad kept pace with the growing needs of the population.
In the last decades of the 19th century, the City of Chicago grew from a
promising prairie town to a great pivotal hub of commerce and industry. As
Chicago became more prosperous, the desire for suburban living led to major
population growth both in the countryside and in the Village of Barrington.
In the 1920s, advancements in transportation allowed wealthy families from
Chicago to move into the Barrington area and build family estate homes. The
location of the Village and its attractive environment appealed to those who
had become wealthy during the booming 1920s. The Village’s population growth
slowed during the difficult times of the 1930s and 1940s, but then resumed in
the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s as a result of the suburbanization in the Chicago
area and the post–World War II baby boom. In 2015, the Village will celebrate
its sesquicentennial (150th) anniversary.
