The history of Brooktondale can be traced back to 1796 when land was purchased from the Seneca Nation for $1 per acre. The first settler arrived that year and named his farm "Brooktown". In 1801, a post office was established and renamed "Brooktown" after Lord Byron's estate in Scotland. By 1810, there were enough settlers in the area to form a village called "East Brooktown". In 1812, East Brooktown merged with West Brooktown to form present-day Brooktondale.
