The community (along with Shotton) was created in 1985 from part of the pre-existing Hawarden community. The councils have a joint arrangement, so that most of their staff carry out work for all three councils. Broughton and Bretton is divided into two wards. North East elects 5 community councillors, and South elects 9.
The community covers the same area as two Flintshire County Council electoral wards. Broughton North East elects 1 county councillor, and Broughton South elects 2.
Between 1849 and 1964 the area was served by Broughton & Bretton railway station.
