The name Broughton is Old English and meant village by the brook. In the Domesday Book, it is listed as owned by a Walter Giffard and the tenant was a Hugh de Bolbec. In the 6th century, its name was spelt Brotone, which is still its customary pronunciation. The original Northampton to London turnpike came through the village to join Watling Street; this is now the A5 road near Woburn. The current main route, the M1 motorway, is very near and Junction 14 is barely half a mile away.
The Milton Keynes grid road, Portway, forms the district's northern boundary and Brickhill Street provides its western boundary. The section of the old turnpike, once the A50, is now part of the A5130. The original route through centre of the old village, named 'London Road', was bypassed in the early 1970s, the newer route runs between it and the other MK district, Brook Furlong, this now provides the eastern boundary.
The district can be split into at least three areas. The original Broughton village, this forms part of a conservation area at the northern end, bounded by the brook and the A5130. Broughton Atterbury is an area of new build housing, predominantly between the Eastern side of the brook and the road. This area has recently been completed and is including road surfacing. Broughton Gate is a new area, part of the Milton Keynes Eastern Expansion area and covers the area to the west of the brook. The iconic cable-stayed bridge is one of two main road crossings that cross over Broughton Brook, the third and newest is the newly completed extension between Broughton and the neighbouring district of Kingston.
A site for community playing fields has been identified between the old village and the primary school. The Broughton Brook linear park stretches the length of the brook as it travels through the area; this provides recreation space for residents. In the North end of Broughton, there is considerable amount of open space which is a conservation area. Although the population of this area has grown considerably, this open space is underused and provides a quiet retreat.
St Lawrence's Church in Broughton is 14th-century church with a 15th-century tower. A series of wall paintings covering large parts of the north and south walls, discovered during an 1849 restoration, are the chief interest of the church. The paintings include a 14th-century Piet, a Doom, St Helena and St Eligius, and St George slaying the Dragon.
