When filling out my address, I sometimes get Brookline Station pre-populated in the city field.
As I have mentioned (most extensively twelve years ago), my post office is up in Brookline, which was a small railroad town on the Frisco line. So I always assumed that the Station referred to the train station up in Brookline.
For some reason, I was looking at a map recently and noticed that it had another entry called Brookline Station far distant from Brookline:
Brookline Station is actually closer to Nogglestead proper.
This history gives an account of the history of Brookline Township (from 1883, so a recent historical account) which indicates that the town of Brookline, which is in the upper corner of Brookline Township, was indeed a railroad town. It does not mention Brookline Station at all.
However, Brookline Station might have been a part of the Butterfield Mail Stage Route.
Fifteen years on, and I’m still learning about the area. Not that my neighbors have deep historical ties; only two or three families in the immediate area precede us in residency.
