Browns Summit (sometimes called Brown Summit) is a small unincorporated community in Guilford County, North Carolina, United States.
The community remains rural, consisting of wooded areas and a mixture of open meadows and rolling farmland, however, it is a growing and upcoming area due to the proximity to Greensboro, Burlington, and Reidsville as well for a number of other reasons: recognition of the state's plan to complete Interstate 785 near the area; the new housing developments in progress, particularly along the western area near NC Hwy 150 and Yanceyville Road; the Bryan Park Complex, located at the town's Southern boundary (Bryan Park features the BB&T Soccer complex, Lake Townsend Park (adjacent to the eponymous lake), and the Champions Golf Course).
Jesse Brown acquired the land in the area in 1858 and established a farm. In 1863, the Richmond and Danville Railroad built a line through the area and named it Browns Summit, as Brown's farm rested at the highest point of elevation on the line.
