History

We have to go back to 1141 to find the first mention of the parish of Barlin in a manuscript now kept in the National Archives. It was then spelt Ballin or Bellin. The name changed several times over the centuries: Ballin in 1141, Bellin in 1438 and Barlaing in 1556, it was not until the next century that it became Barlin.
In the 12th century, the territory of Barlin was divided into several lordship s which depended on Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise, Arras or Bethune. In 1207, Thomas Hasbare was seigneur of Barlin. The Melun family succeeded him and one of their lords, nicknamed Le Brun, the king's chamberlain, saw his property confiscated by Duke John the Fearless, who had accused him of alliegence with his enemies. The Duke of Burgundy then donated the land and income of Barlin to Walleran de Juhaucourt.
In the mid-nineteenth century, coalmining began at Barlin and the town flourished. The mines closed in the 1960s.
Today, Barlin is a modern and dynamic place that offers its residents numerous amenities: schools, colleges, a swimming pool, a library and sports halls.
