Barrington, IL HVAC, Plumbing and Electric

History

Situated on the border between Cook and Lake Counties in northeastern Illinois, Barrington was once a meeting place for a number of different Native American tribes. Although the native inhabitants were forced to move to the north and west after the arrival of European settlers from the east, their legacy lives on in many of the area’s place names. After its founding as a railroad town during the mid-19th century, Barrington became known as an important lumber processing depot. Meanwhile, the region around the town developed into a world-class dairy farming zone. A temporary Depression-era hit to Barrington’s agricultural economy didn’t derail its growth, and it had become known as a burgeoning satellite town of Chicago by the mid-20th century. Thanks to restrictive zoning laws, modern Barrington is known as a bastion of large-lot properties amid more compact suburban developments.

Geography

Barrington sits just over 30 miles to the northwest of Chicago’s Loop. Although it’s served by Interstate 90 and U.S. Highway 14, its downtown area is free from major thoroughfares that might interrupt its street-scape. The town is also served by a trunk line of the Metra commuter rail network. The land that surrounds Barrington consists largely of protected open spaces, low-density suburban developments and specialized agricultural areas. Owing to the region’s relative affluence, high-end golf courses like Barrington Hills Country Club are prevalent in the area as well.

Population and Demographics

Barrington’s population has grown much more slowly than that of many neighboring communities. According to the 2010 Census, the population of the incorporated village sits at just over 4,000. Barrington shouldn’t be confused with the even-smaller Barrington Hills, a nearby incorporated village that also features large-lot zoning. As befits an attractive, heavily zoned municipality near a major city, Barrington is quite affluent. Many of the town’s residents work in managerial or executive positions at the consumer-product or financial companies that operate in local business parks.

For hikers and bikers, Cuba Marsh Forest Preserve and Deer Grove Forest Preserve stand as pristine specimens of the area’s native forests and fields.

Barrington enjoys a continental climate regime that’s characteristic of northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. Residents are accustomed to frequent wintertime snowfalls, pleasant spring rains, and warm summer days that are often broken by powerful thunderstorms. Although heat and cold are common, there are enough winter thaws and summer cool-downs to keep life pleasant for just about everyone.
