Despite the presence of archaeological evidence suggesting the settlement of people in the ice age and trading in the Bronze Age, the earliest specific evidence of the town comes from the Saxon period. It's thought that the Saxon settlement came from Hampshire during the 6th century. Large amounts of Brixham's history may be observed in its street names.
