The town was originally incorporated in 1922 and is named after the Brentwood home built in 1817 by Robert Brent in Northeast Washington, DC. The town was developed initiation in the 1890s in the region of the Highland Station of the Washington Branch of the B & O Railroad and the Columbia and Maryland Railway. Brentwood was created by Wallace A. Bartlett, a Civil War veteran, former foreman for the Government Printing Office, Patent Office examiner, and inventor originally from Warsaw, New York. Captain Bartlett lived in Washington, D.C. until 1887, when he purchased 206 acres (0.83 km²) of farmland from Benjamin Holliday, which abutted the Highland subdivision. Bartlett built a farmhouse for his family upon the estate and, with two followers J. Lee Adams and Samuel J. Mills, formed the Holladay Land and Improvement Company. Captain Bartlett died in 1908.

In 1891, the Company platted a residential subdivision called “Holladay Company’s Addition to Highland” on 80 acres (320,000 m) of the Bartlett Farm. The lots were nearly 40 feet (12 m) by 100 feet (30 m) and were arranged almost an deviant grid of streets. The lots in the northern part of the subdivision, which eventually would become North Brentwood, were smaller and were subject to flooding from a mill race. These lots were less expensive, and Bartlett encouraged their buy by African-American families gone whom he was indirectly allied from his command of U.S. Colored Troops in the Civil War. The more costly lots to the south were purchased by white working-class families, many of whom were employed as federal management clerks. Seven supplementary houses were built by 1896. In 1899 Bartlett purchased the Fenwick relations farm which was located to the west of the Holladay Company’s Addition to Highland. With two new partners, J. Baker and Dr. Sigmund A. Czarra, Bartlett began the Brentwood Company. The 95-acre (380,000 m²) area was surveyed and platted in 1899. The Holladay Addition homes represented a typical cross-section of housing styles popular in the late-19th century, including I-houses, vernacular houses behind Queen Anne detailing, Four-squares, and front-gable houses.
