Washington place names database, via WWW, Sept. 9, 2010 (Brewster is a community southwest of Okanogan west of the confluence of the Okanogan and Columbia rivers in south central Okanogan County. In 1892, Charles Ballard platted the town of Swansea but it did not develop. In 1898, when the post office was established, the present name was chosen after a short time when it was called Port Columbia. It is a misspelling of the name of the original homesteader of the site, John Bruster, who filed his claim in 1896. Brewster was incorporated Apr. 29, 1910)
