Located within the town of Southeast, the village of Brewster had its genesis as a turn-of-the-century railroad town.  The area’s highest concentration of commerce and industry is located within Brewster’s 135 acres, and still it continues to attract new businesses.  Both small and mid-sized businesses include financial institutions, insurance companies, funeral homes, oil companies, restaurants, lawyer’s offices, and office supply stores.  The village has several small clusters of retail stores that line the Main Street shopping district in addition to dozens of cafes, delicatessens, restaurants, and taverns.  Residents enjoy supervised programs that include sports leagues as well as well-developed local recreational facilities that support a variety of sports.  The commuter hub of Brewster enjoys a strategic location along a major interchange of Interstates 84 and 684.
