History
Brimfield, Illinois was founded in 1835; however, it was originally known as Charleston. The name was changed at the request of the United States Postal Service, most likely due to a naming conflict with Charleston, Illinois. A complete grade school was built in 1839 on the present-day school grounds. Two schools had preceded it, but couldn’t keep up with the demand and growing population. The first record of a high school in Brimfield lies with Brimfield Academy, on the grounds of the present day City Hall. It was a six-room school in which one room served as the high school. A dedicated high school was built in 1877. The brick building is being torn down and a new building is being constructed behind the old building.[8]
