Brooks is a full service community on the TransCanada Highway. It is close to Dinosaur Park, a World Heritage Site and the world's largest deposit of late cretaceous period dinosaur fossils.
Nearly 15,000 people call Brooks home and so while it was incorporated as a village in 1910 it has since received status as a town and now as a city.
Pre-European settlement included the Blackfoot and Crow Indigenous peoples. After Treaty 7 was signed in 1877, homesteaders moved into the area to begin farming. Before 1904, the area still did not have a name. Through a Postmaster General-sponsored contest, the area was named after Noel Edgell Brooks, a Canadian Pacific Railway Divisional Engineer from Calgary.
