History

Brownsville is named for the first two elders of the Brownsville Presbyterian Church, Duncan and John Brown. The area was first settled by pioneers from the Cape Fear region of North Carolina. At one point, there was a school, three general stores, and two grist mills in Brownsville.[2] A post office operated under the name Brownsville from 1872 to 1874.[3]

The Hatchett Creek Presbyterian Church is listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage.[4]
