In the time of the First Czechoslovak Republic, a railway line was constructed in Brumov. On 14 June 1964, two municipalities Brumov and Bylnice were merged to form Brumov-Bylnice, which gained the status of a town on 1 January 1965. Since 15 July 1976, Svatý Štěpán has been part of the town. On 24 July 1997, Sidonie joined the town.
