Whilst some 12th century documents mention Broxa (in relation to land granted by the abbot of Whitby), the village was not listed in the Domesday Book. It is thought that it was included in the manor of Hackness.[3] The name of the village derives from a personal name Broce, meaning the enclosure of Broce's people.[4]

To the north of the village is Broxa Forest, a 1,527 acres (618 ha) woodland maintained by Forestry England which has walking and cycling trails. The Moors to Sea Cycle route passes through the village and the forest.[5][6][7]
