Brunswick was originally settled in 1628 along the falls of the Androscoggin River. Incorporated in 1738, it was named to honor the British House of Brunswick. The community has the charm of a college town, the bustle of light Young Mooseindustry, and the economic health of a regional commercial center.

On the outskirts of town, other shopping districts along Pleasant Street and at Cook's Corner round out Brunswick's commercial base. Two excellent hospitals and a variety of other health care services are an asset to the Town.
