Brookside Cemetery named after the Assabet Brook which follows on its south side was opened by the town in 1864 when the Hillside Cemetery lots were used up. The address at the public consecration was given by Rev. George F. Clark, the pastor of the First Parish Church.

In February, 1952, the town appropriated $750.00 for the purchase and initial development of the present annex on Box Mill Road. It was bought from Warry Wheeler Wetherbee Post, American Legion, and Harriet G. Bird contributed money for landscaping and development. In 1974 adjacent land was purchased from the estate of Charles D. Fletcher for further use.

The earliest death dates are c. 1840 and it is still in use today.

The Massachusetts Historical Commission refers to this cemetery in MACRIS as STW.803 Brookside Cemetery.
