Brownsburg is a fast-growing town in Hendricks County, just northwest of Indianapolis, and its town motto is 'Community on the Move.'

Brownsburg was first settled in 1824 by James B. Brown, in an area where Delaware Indians lived along White Lick Creek, which they called 'Wa-pe-ke-way,' meaning 'White Salt.'

The town was originally named Harrisburgh in 1835 after settler William Harris, but its 1836 post office was later renamed Brownsburg because another Indiana county already had a Harrisburgh post office.

Brownsburg was first incorporated in 1848, but that incorporation dissolved amid struggles tied to the Civil War era, and the town incorporated a second, permanent time in 1870.

The first log schoolhouse in the area was built in Brown Township in 1828, just four years after settlement began.

Part of the classic 1986 basketball movie Hoosiers was filmed in Brownsburg's former College Avenue Gym in 1985.

The 2020 census recorded 28,973 residents in Brownsburg, up from 21,285 in 2010 and just 7,628 in 1990, making it one of Indiana's fastest-growing suburban towns.

Brownsburg had 10,844 households in the 2020 census, and nearly 40 percent of them included children under the age of 18.
