The land which comprises what is today Brookline was first settled in 1638 as a hamlet in Boston, known as Muddy River (as it was settled on the west side of the river of the same name). It was incorporated as a separate town with the name of Brookline in 1705. Several streets and railroads were laid out in the town in the 19th century. Today, these are Massachusetts Route 9 (locally Boylston St., which unofficially divides north and south Brookline) and the various branches of the MBTA's Green Line. To the north of Route 9, the area is fairly urban; the southern part is much less so. At the time of the 2020 census, the population of the town was 63,191.
