The land that would become Braselton was first settled in 1876 when William Harrison Braselton and his family moved from Hall County. The Town was incorporated on August 21, 1916 with William Henry Braselton serving as the first Mayor. The Town Hall, circa 1909, is the home built by William Henry and Pallie Darby Braselton. The home was purchased by the Town in 1995 and opened as the Town Hall in October 1998.
