Village of Brooksby
Zone 5

Brook Partridge, a pioneer, owned a shack where the railway was to be built. In order for its bypass he had to move his shack, so they called the hamlet Brooks-by!

In Brooksby there is a grain elevator, two seed farms (Walker Seeds, Van Burck Seeds), and the Willow Creek Rural Municipality Office.

The House of Israel Synagogue, which was erected in 1909, is located 9 kms north of Brooksby on grid #681. The Eden bridge cemetery is located 1/2 km west of the Synagogue.

If you would like a glimpse of what the natural habitat around Brooksby was like in the pioneer days take a trip to Barons' Bluff, located 1 kms south east.
