Barrington is part of the Chicago metropolitan area and serves every bit the hub of activity for the surrounding 90-foursquare-mile (230 km²) region^[four] which consists of six independent villages including North Barrington, South Barrington, Barrington Hills, Lake Barrington and Tower Lakes, as well as small portions of Carpentersville, Deer Park, Hoffman Estates, Fox River Grove, Port Barrington and Inverness. The village's motto is "Be Inspired".^[5]

History [edit]

Early on history [edit]

The original settlers of the Barrington expanse were the indigenous peoples of the Native American Prairie Potawatomi or Mascoutin tribes, which later divided into the Potawatomi, Chippewa, and Ottawa tribes.^[six] Many local roads still in apply today, including Algonquin Road, Rand Road, Higgins Road, and St. Charles Road, were originally Native American trails.^[6] For many years, Barrington was considered part of the Northwest Territory, then the Illinois Territory.^[seven]

19th century [edit]

By treaty dated September 26, 1833, ending the Black Hawk War, the Chippewa, Ottawa and Potawatomi tribes ceded to the U.s.a. all lands from the west shore of Lake Michigan west to the area that the Winnebago tribe ceded in 1832, north to the expanse that the Menominees had previously ceded to the United States, and south to the expanse previously ceded by an 1829 treaty at Prairie du Chien, a total of approximately 5,000,000 acres (xx,000 km^two).^[8] Through this treaty, the Sacs, Fox, Winnebago, Chippewa, Ottawa and Pottawatomi tribes ceded all championship to the area due east of the Mississippi River. Between 1833 and 1835, the U.S. government paid approximately $100,000 in annuities and grants to the Potawatomi, Ottawa, and Chippewa tribes, presumably as payment for the land.^[viii]

Following this treaty, pioneers traveling from Troy, New York, via Fort Dearborn (now the urban center of Chicago) to live in Cuba Township in Lake County.^{[9] [ten]} The starting time white pioneers known to have settled in Barrington township were Jesse F. Miller and William Van Orsdal of Steuben County, New York, who arrived in 1834, before the three-yr menstruum which had been given the Native Americans to vacate the region, and before local state surveys.^[eleven] Other settlers from Vermont and New York settled in what is now the northwest corner of Melt County.^{[9] [10]}

The combined settlement of these pioneers, located at the intersection of Illinois Road 68 and Sutton Road, was originally called Miller Grove due to the number of families with that surname^[12] but later renamed Barrington Middle^{[10] [thirteen]} because it "centered" both means from the nowadays Sutton Road and from Algonquin and Higgins roads.^[11] Although residents and historians hold that the proper noun Barrington was taken from Great Barrington in Berkshire County, Massachusetts,^[9] and that many settlers immigrated to the area from Berkshire Canton, there is currently no testify that settlers emigrated from Great Barrington itself.^[12] In add-on, several original settlers, including Miller, Van Orsdal, and John W. Seymour, emigrated from Steuben County, New York,^[8] which too features a town named Barrington founded in 1822. However, it is currently unknown whether any settlers emigrated from Barrington, New York, itself or whether the New York settlement influenced the naming of Barrington, Illinois.

Much of the history of Barrington since its settlement parallels the development of railroad lines from the port facilities in Chicago. In 1854, the Chicago, St. Paul & Fond du Lac Railroad (now known as the Marriage Pacific/Northwest Line), led by William Butler Ogden, extended the train line to the northwest corner of Cook County and congenital a station named Deer Grove.^[9]

In 1854, Robert Campbell, a civil engineer who worked for the railroad, purchased a farm ii miles (iii km) northwest of the Deer Grove station and platted a community on the holding.^{[9] [10]} Deer Grove residents protested, and at Campbell'due south request, the railroad later moved the Deer Grove station near its electric current location, which Campbell named Barrington after Barrington Center.^{[9] [10]} In 1855, the village's start lumber facility began operations on Franklin Street.^[10]

By 1863, population growth during the Civil War era increased the number of Barrington residents to 300. In gild to provide a tax mechanism to finance improvements, Barrington submitted its request for incorporation in 1863.^[10] Delays due to the Civil War resulted in the appropriate incorporation deeds not returning to Barrington for nearly two years.^[xiv] The Illinois legislature granted Barrington's lease on February 16, 1865.^{[9] [14]} The Hamlet held its start Board meeting on March 20, 1865, and appointed resident Homer Wilmarth as Mayor for one yr.^{[9] [14]}

"Lest we forget the fortitude, the fearless courage, the determination, the frugal living, the hard piece of work with none of the facilities that are so abundant today, this history has been written as a tape of the success of those who left the comforts of civilisation in the East and came west to a wild land, and of those who came to America talking a strange language, having very piffling equipment but bare hands and willing hearts, to wrest from a wilderness or an uncultivated country a living for a large family in a land where they could enjoy freedom from oppression and from pursuit."

--Foreword from Arnett C. Lines' "A History of Barrington, Illinois."[15]

In 1866, resident Milius B. McIntosh became the first elected Village President.^[14]

In 1889, the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern Railway (the "EJ&East") was built through Barrington, crossing what is now the Union Pacific/Northwest Line northwest of town.^[9] In the tardily 19th century, a series of fires damaged numerous downtown buildings. In 1890, fire swept forth the due north side of East Chief Street east of what is now the Marriage Pacific/Northwest Line, destroying several buildings.^[14] In 1893, another burn down destroyed most of the cake that is now Park Avenue, and in 1898 a fire destroyed several buildings along the north side of Primary Street from Hough Street to the Northwest Line railroad tracks.^[14] As a result of these fires, residents replaced the burned frame structures with more than substantial brick and stone buildings, many of which remain in apply today (albeit with substantially altered facades).^[14]

The last major fire in downtown Barrington occurred on Dec nineteen, 1989. The fire completely destroyed Lipofsky's Section Store, and so one of the oldest continually operating businesses in the village.^[14]

"The Battle of Barrington" [edit]

On Nov 27, 1934, a running gun battle between FBI agents and Public Enemy # 1 Baby Face Nelson took place in Barrington, resulting in the deaths of Special Amanuensis Herman "Ed" Hollis and Inspector Samuel P. Cowley.^[17] Nelson, though shot nine times, escaped the gunfight in Hollis's car with his wife, Helen Gillis. Nelson succumbed from his wounds at approximately eight p.1000. that evening and was unceremoniously dumped near a cemetery in Niles Center (now Skokie), Illinois.^[18] Infamous for allegedly killing more federal agents than whatsoever other private, Nelson was later buried at Saint Joseph Cemetery in River Grove, Illinois. A plaque nearly the entrance to Langendorf Park, part of the Barrington Park District, commemorates the agents killed in the gunfight.
