History

Variant names were "Bruton" and "Bruton Station". [1] Brewton had its start in 1884 when the Wrightsville and Tennille Railroad was extended to that point. [2] A post office called Brewton was established in 1894, and remained in operation until 1958. [3] The community took its name from Bruton Creek [2] (also known as Brewton Creek). [4] The Georgia General Assembly incorporated the place as the "Town of Bruton" in 1889. [5] The town's charter was dissolved in 1995. [2]
