Brantley was laid out along a railroad survey. In 1890 the Central of Georgia Railway surveyed a line from Troy, in Pike County, to Searight, in Crenshaw County, and a group of investors led by Thomas K. Brantley of Troy bought land along it for a new town. The Brantley Land Company first bought 40 acres and set the corporate limits at three miles in every direction from the center of town, which is why Brantley's limits form a circle.
The depot manager first called the place Sasserville, after the owner of the local gristmill; it was later named Marcus and finally Brantley, for its founder. The town was incorporated in 1891. Early businesses included dry-goods stores, a home goods store owned by Brantley, a furniture store and livery stables, and the timber and textile industries drove the early economy.
