History{{Prose|section|date=December 2013}}Indigenous peoples lived here for thousands of years before Europeans entered the area. The historic inhabitants were the Penteka (also known to the Europeans as Comanche) who occupied this area at the time of European colonization.[4]
In 1838 land surveys are made of the area.[4] In 1856 Welcome W. Chandler from Mississippi became the first settler, arriving with his family, John H. Fowler, and seven slaves. They built a log cabin on Pecan Bayou. The county was formed from Comanche and Travis counties. It is named after Henry Stevenson Brown, an American pioneer from Kentucky.[4][6] In 1858 the county was formally organized.[6] Brownwood was designated as the county seat.[7]
