South Barrington is a small village located in Cook County, Illinois. South Barrington is part of a group of villages known as The Barringtons. The village of South Barrington is known as a very wealthy suburb of Chicago, making it an ideal place for people that work in the city and like to play in the city, but like to come home to a suburban setting. The village of South Barrington has just 3,760 residents according to the 2000 census, so it is by no means a bustling metropolis, which is what most residents love about it.
In 1976, Alexander Stillman donated land in South Barrington to the Audobon Society of Chicago. The Society created the Stillman Nature center, which is a prairie preserve. The village is also understandably proud of the fact that 45 private lakes and ponds contribute to the charm of the area.
