Browns Summit, North Carolina
Browns Summit is a small unincorporated community in Guilford [County, North Carolina|Guilford County], North Carolina, United States.
The community remains rural, consisting of wooded areas and a mixture of open meadows and rolling farmland, however, it is a growing and upcoming area due to the proximity to Greensboro, Burlington, and Reidsville as well for a number of other reasons: recognition of the state's plan to complete Interstate 785 near the area; the new housing developments in progress, particularly along the western area near NC Hwy 150 and Yanceyville Road; the Bryan Park Complex, located at the town's Southern boundary.
History
Jesse Brown acquired the land in the area in 1858 and established a farm. In 1863, the Richmond and Danville Railroad built a line through the area and named it Browns Summit, as Brown's farm rested at the highest point of elevation on the line.Works cited
