History
Brimfield Township was originally known by several different names, before being named Thorndike from 1818 to 1830. The present name is for Brimfield, Massachusetts, the hometown of John Wyles Jr., one of the early land owners. A post office called Brimfield was established in 1834, and remained in operation until 1907.
