This street was laid out as Browne Street in 1901 in a plan of lots by Elmer W. Moore, subdividing the former property of Alexander Bradley.[1] It was renamed Broughton Street in 1910 to avoid confusion with Brown Alley in Garfield (today Brown Way).[2] The name Broughton is probably just a modification of Browne.
