Brimley is an unincorporated community in Superior township. It is situated where the Waiska River flows into Whitefish Bay on Lake Superior. M-221 is a short spur route connecting Brimley with M-28 three miles to the south. The Bay Mills Indian Community owns land nearby, and Brimley is part of a tax-agreement area with the tribe. It was founded in 1887 as Superior and was renamed for a local postal official in 1896 to avoid confusion with a station in Minnesota on same railroad line that was also named Superior. Bay Mills Community College is located here.
