History & geography

History

The Aboriginal name for the Brunswick area is Mue-De-La. The Brunswick River which runs just north of the town was surveyed by John Septimus Roe in 1830, and likely named by Governor Stirling after the Duke of Brunswick. Stirling was in command of HMS Brazen in 1813 when the ship was commissioned to take the Duke of Brunswick to Holland. The Duke was on the ship for five days. The population of the town was 68 (38 males and 30 females) in 1898. The Brunswick Junction Prison was located in the former railway barracks. By 1979, it was a minimum security prison with capacity for 26 inmates. It was closed in 1984. The town's centre underwent a significant upgrade in 2011 as part of the Royalties for Regions program, a dairy themed playground, landscaping and an underground power hub were all part of the $380,000 project that was opened by Brendon Grylls.
