Brasher Falls–Winthrop used to be a special kind of community in St. Lawrence County, New York, called a "census-designated place" (CDP). This means it was an area identified by the government for counting people. In the year 2000, about 1,140 people lived there.
Later, for the 2010 census, this area was split into two separate CDPs. These are now known as Brasher Falls and Winthrop. Brasher Falls is part of the Town of Brasher, and Winthrop is in the Town of Stockholm.
