The Hamlet of Brownvale, managed by the Municipal District of Peace, is located 7 miles west of the Village of Berwyn, just off Highway 2.  This friendly community with a population of approximately 140 originated in the mid 1920's when the railway was extended from Berwyn to Whitelaw (ready for operation in December 1924).

At its busiest, Brownvale boasted 2 general stores, 3 gas stations/bulk fuel agencies and an equipment dealership.  Today, the Hamlet is mainly a residential community.  There is a very active community group that runs a weekly bingo in the recreation centre and a small library located beside the playground is operational. There is an agricultural museum located at the outskirts, and the M.D. has a firehall located in the Hamlet.
