Broxson is likely named after the Broxson family, one of whom is currently a Florida state Senator, Doug Broxson, though accounts are relatively scarce. Few remaining citizens in the area consider themselves part of Broxon, as most of the original land and residences are now abandoned, now part of Eglin Air Force Base.
