[4] The first farm in the area, "Alverstoke", started in 1842 by Marshall Waller Clifton, was producing wheat, barley and potatoes within a few years.

A bridge was built over the Brunswick River at Australind to give settlers in the area easier access to what was then the main community in the Harvey District.

In 1893, when the Perth-Bunbury railway was completed, no-one lived in the present-day townsite, but the Brunswick Farmers' Association was formed, with a post office and school operating nearby.

[9] Brunswick Junction is mainly known today for dairying, to which a large Friesian cow (nicknamed Daisy) stands testament in a park in the centre of town.

The Australind passenger train from Perth to Bunbury stops at Brunswick Junction as the penultimate station on the South Western Railway.
