A small ex-coal mining town, now a light engineering and farming commune, Barlin is situated 7 miles (11 km) south of Béthune and 30 miles (48 km) southwest of Lille, at the junction of the D57, D179 and the D188 roads. Barlin dates to at least 1141, the year of 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, being recorded as Ballin in 1141, Bellin in 1438 and Barlaing in 1556; it was not until the next century that it became Barlin. More information...
