Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BRI-BUN
BROOKLINE , a township of Norfolk county, Massachusetts, U.S.A., about 3 m. S.W. of Boston, lying immediately S. of the Back Bay
district
 . Pop. (189o) 12,103; (1900) 19,935, of whom 6536 were foreign-born; (1910, census) 27,792. The area of the township in 1906 was 6.75 sq. m. It is served by the Boston & Albany railway, and is connected with Boston by an electric line. Brookline is the wealthiest of the residential suburbs of Boston; and contains a number of beautiful estates and homes. Within its limits are the villages of Cottage Farm, Longwood, and Reservoir Station,or Chestnut Hillthe Chestnut Hill reservoir is just beyond the township. Brookline has an excellent public library. At
Clyde
  Park are the grounds and club-
house
  of the Boston Country Club. Brookline has long been regarded as a model city suburb. It is connected with
Boston Common by boulevards of the
Metropolitan
  Park System. The first
settlement
  was probably made about 1635, and it was called Muddy River until 1705, when it was created a township under the name of Brookline. Up to 1793 it belonged to Suffolk county, of which Boston is a part, and since that time it has belonged to Norfolk county; but Boston has in its growth almost surrounded it, and because of its
great
  wealth there has been a long struggle for and against its merger in Boston. Frederick Law
Olmsted
 , the famous landscape gardener, had his
home
  in Brookline, where there are various examples of his
work
 .
