Named for Elder William Brewster, the first religious leader of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Colony, the town was incorporated in 1803 after residents split from Harwich over the concentration of civic institutions on what is now Route 6A. Its strongest ties run to neighboring Cape Cod towns, with Bourne, Yarmouth, and Harwich among the most closely linked. Minnie Riperton's song "Alone in Brewster Bay" documents the town's cultural reach into early 1970s music.
