The city started as a major junction on the Canadian Pacific Railway, and was incorporated in 1882.
Brandon, the second largest city in Manitoba, is a major service centre for the surrounding agricultural area. It is also home to Brandon University and the Assiniboine Community College.
The current mayor of Brandon is Dave Burgess. One important issue in Brandon is the use of the now unused Brandon Mental Health Center. One suggestion was to move the ACC, which requires more space, into the picturesque building, but that option was deemed too expensive.
