A small, lively village at the southern end of the Peninsula, Brooklin was settled as a part of the town of Sedgwick in 1763, and incorporated as an independent town in 1849. Brooklin takes pride in its boatbuilding yards, an outstanding library, churches, elementary school and community hall located in North Brooklin. With miles of beautiful shoreline come the town’s chief industries of fishing and boatbuilding. The town is also home to a world-famous boatbuilding school and to the publishing house of two magazines. Brooklin has a unique summer colony as well as shops, small businesses, bed and breakfasts and restaurants.
