History

Brunswick, platted in 1856, is situated within Brunswick Township. The community is located in Section 1 of the township, but its history traces back to the Hersey, Staples, and Bean Lumber Company, whose logging headquarters were in Section 12 of the township. George and Isaac Staples platted the site of the community, naming it after Brunswick, Maine. With stores, a post office, and mills located in Brunswick, it became the county seat for Kanabec County on March 13, 1859. It retained its status as the county seat until it was transferred to Mora in 1883. [3]

A post office was established at Brunswick in 1860, and remained in operation until 1934. [4]
