Encyclopedic overview
Barrington Hills is a village located about 40 miles (64 km) northwest of Chicago in the U.S. state of Illinois. Per the 2020 census, the population was 4,114. It straddles approximately 29 square miles (75 km) over four counties, Cook, Kane, McHenry, and Lake. The Village of Barrington Hills was incorporated in 1957.
The suburban village is included in the greater Barrington area. Many very affluent residents live on large estates and commute to downtown Chicago. A minimum 5-acre (2.0 ha) zoning restriction has been in effect on new construction since 1963, but the existence of equestrian farms antedates the village by decades. Farming and horse raising are allowed. Barrington Hills includes farms and estates such as Hill 'N Dale Farms, which was owned by Richard L. Duchossois, former owner of the Arlington Park racetrack. It was acquired by Citizens for Conservation in 2022 CFC plans to restore the original countours of Spring Creek as well as wetlands and prairies. Another example of an estate is Bank Note Farm. The identification of the area with horses carries over to the names Broncos and Colts for school teams.
