Welcome to East Brainerd! Come Thrive With Us!
In 1967, East Brainerd meant the area along East Brainerd Road, then barely a two-lane country road branching of Robert. E Lee Highway. Originally, the community was called Concord. This name lasted until its main road changed from Bird’s Mill to Each Brainerd following some community consolidation. Several families occupied a small neighborhood where The Terrace is now and the other side of Gunbarrel Road was all wooded area.
