Brookside was located at a small area at the mouth of a canyon. Coal was found in small quanitities in 1873, but the town wasn't incorporated until 1912. During a 1914 strike, the Brookside Mine filled with water and could not be reopened. Another mine was opened to replace the flooded one. Brookside now is more like a suburb of Canon City. Several era buildings still remain, as well as some mine foundations, but new housing from Canon City has changed this area.
