Great Barrington is located in Berkshire County

Population: 7,725 Great Barrington serves as the egional hub of the southern Berkshires and is the fastest growing medium-sized town in the county. Founded in 1766, it quickly earned a reputation for cantankerousness in 1774, when on August 18th, a mob chased Royal judges out of town, the first open resistance to British Rule in America. Seven years later, the town voted to sell its school and use the proceeds to build a dog pound. The town has been blessed with a balanced economy of farming and manufacturing for much of its history. Today there are only a handful of farms remaining, and tourism plays an increasingly important role in the town's commerce and character. Great Barrington's year-round population consists of an unusual blend of natives, transplants from metropolitan areas, students from nearby private schools and a college.
