History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

Settlement began after 1815, as the town was organized in 1825 from the town of Massena. In 1827, a small part of the town of Lawrence was added to Brasher.

The boundary between Lawrence and Brasher originally continued straight across the St. Regis River to the Stockholm town line. It was changed to follow the center of the river upstream to the Stockholm line. The iron industry played an important part in the early history of the town, initially mining and smelting, but later including the production of stoves and other goods.
