North Barrington is a village in the southwestern portion of Lake County, about 35 miles northwest of Chicago. North Barrington is located within the Fox River area, and was first settled in the 1830’s. After more than a century of slow and steady growth, the unincorporated area was formed into the Village of North Barrington in 1959.
