First a part of Dunstable, Massachusetts, then settled as West Hollis, the town was granted in 1769 as "Raby." Colonial Governor John Wentworth named the town in honor of his cousin, 4th Earl of Strafford and Baron of Raby Castle in County Durham, England. The town was renamed in 1798 at the suggestion of one of the town's leading citizens, who hailed from Brookline, Massachusetts. The town has several buildings on the National Register of Historic Places.

The town received national attention in 1997, when people participating in the traditional ringing of the Congregational Church bell at midnight on the Fourth of July were arrested. Several prominent members of the community were among those arrested, including town selectman Clarence Farwell and his wife. The incident led to an investigation of the Brookline police department after questions of excessive force were raised following the arrests
