Historical information

Braybrook's history includes early white settlement in the 1840s, the establishment of the Braybrook Shire in 1871 and a period of industrial development in the late 1800s with activities like bluestone quarrying.
In the 1950s the Housing Commission of Victoria developed Braybrook as a social housing hub for the post war population boom. The suburb has since seen a mix of community development, including the establishment of the Vietnamese Buddhist community's Quanh Minh Temple. The original Braybrook Shire became part of the City of Sunshine and then the City of Brimbank.
