Brown City was established as a station on the Port Huron and Northwestern Railway, later a part of the Pere Marquette Railroad. The area quickly grew to become an efficient shipment place for lumber and grains. Brown City was incorporated as a village and as a city in 1907. The Marquette Flyer provided early rail passenger and mail service between Detroit and Ludington. In the 1920s the Pere Marquette came under the control of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway and was formally merged into it on 6 June 1947.

The Huron and Eastern Railway purchased CSX's Port Huron Subdivision from Saginaw to Brown City. The line southeast of Brown City is in place to the Avoca grain elevator. However, it has been out of service since the HESR acquisition.
