Braeburn apples were discovered in 1952 as a chance seedling growing in a New Zealand orchard. The parentage of Braeburn apples is unclear, but both Lady Hamilton and Granny Smith apples were growing on nearby trees.

The name Braeburn comes from an area of the Moutere Hills near Motueka, New Zealand. Williams Brothers nursery cultivated the Braeburn apple variety and eventually introduced it to Washington apple growers.
