Brookside is an unincorporated community located in the town of Pensaukee, Oconto County, Wisconsin, United States. Brookside is located on County Highway J near U.S. Route 41, 8.7 miles (14.0 km) southwest of Oconto.
Brookside was named from its location at a brook. The town did have a post office that was established in 1871 but it was discontinued in late 1925. Brookside was originally established as a crossroads community in June 1852. In the early 1900s, Brookside had a cheese factory on the eastside of Highway J, south of the intersection. After the closing of the school and bars in the late 1950s, Brookside has since become a sleepy rural community.
