The first settlers arrived in the Barrington area in the 1830s. Since that time, residents have been attracted to the area by its appealing natural resources, and its accessibility to the larger metropolitan area.
The village operates four park areas and two country clubs are in the community as well. Most home sites are within Cuba Township, and therefore in Barrington School District 220. The eastern portion of North Barrington lies within Ela Township and is served by Lake Zurich School District 95.
