According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 10.4 km² (4.0 mi²), all land.
The geographic Village of Brookville, as we know it today, was formed in two stages. When the village was incorporated in 1931, it consisted of a long, narrow tract of land that was centered along Cedar Swamp Road (Route 107). In the 1950's, the northern portion of the unincorporated area then known as Wheatley Hills was annexed and incorporated into the village, approximately doubling the village's area to its present  2650 acres (11 km²). Note that such figures are often imprecise and the cited figure was calculated by Frederick P. Clark Associates for the report: "Village of Brookville: Open Space Preservation Through Large Lot Zoning; A Village Master Plan Update Study, September 1989, Finalized January 1990"
