2,472 citizens lived in Brookville in 1900, and 3,003 citizens lived there in 1910.
The first non-Native American settler of the territory inside the eventual town limits was Moses Knapp, who assembled a log home at the confluence of North Fork Creek and Sandy Lick Creek (which form Redbank Creek) in 1801. Brookville's chief source of economic evolution throughout the 19th century was the lumber industry.
Brookville's many creeks and its connection to larger rivers (the Clarion to the north, which, like the Redbank, flows to the Allegheny) allowed for extensive assembly of lumber mills along the watersheds and the floating of timber to markets in Pittsburgh.
