Brazoria County, come Brazos County, prende il nome dal fiume Brazos, che scorre attraverso le due contee. Gli Anglo-Texani furono i primi a stabilirsi nella contea, quando il primo degli autorizzati 300 coloni americani, guidati da Stephen Fuller Austin, giunse alla foce del fiume Brazos nel 1821. Molti degli eventi che portarono alla Guerra d'indipendenza del Texas si svilupparono a Brazoria County. Nel 1832 Brazoria divenne un comune indipendente dal governo messicano, diventando una delle prime contee originali del Texas nel momento dell'indipendenza, nel 1836.

Joel Walter Robison, residente della contea, combatté nella rivoluzione del Texas, e rappresentò successivamente Fayette County nella Camera dei Rappresentanti texana.[4]

Il luogo di sepoltura originale di Stephen F. Austin si trova al Gulf Prairie Cemetery, nella città di Jones Creek. I suoi resti furono esumati nel 1910. La città di Austin, capitale del Texas, è a lui dedicata.

Temple Lea Houston, il più giovane figlio di Sam Houston, è stato il procuratore della contea di Brazoria County. La sua vita viene raccontata nel film del 1963 The Man from Galveston e dalla serie televisiva western della National Broadcasting Company di 26 episodi andata in onda dal 1963 al 1964, ovvero La legge del Far West.

Il 2 giugno 2016 l'inondazione del fiume Brazos richiese l'evacuazione di alcune porzioni della contea di Brazoria.[5]
