Bartlett remained a tiny farming village for a century - it had just 175 residents in 1880 and only 3,501 as late as 1970 - before suburban growth exploded in the 1980s and 1990s.

Bartlett is home to the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, a 30-acre Hindu temple complex on Illinois Route 59 that opened on August 8, 2004, and was the largest traditional Hindu temple of stone and marble constructed in the United States at the time.

The Bartlett mandir was built in just 16 months using Turkish limestone, Italian marble and Indian makrana marble, and its construction helped spur the growth of Bartlett's Asian community, which numbered nearly 5,918 residents by 2011.

Bartlett's public schools, including Bartlett High School, are part of Elgin Area School District U-46, the second-largest school district in Illinois.
