===Places named after Brooke===
In 1857, the native village of Newash in [[Grey County]], Ontario, Canada, was renamed Brooke and the adjacent township was named Sarawak by [[William Keppel, 7th Earl of Albemarle|William Coutts Keppel]] (known as Viscount Bury, later the 7th Earl of Albemarle) who was Superintendent of Indian Affairs in Canada.<ref>Marsh, Edith L. ''A History of the County of Grey''. Owen Sound, Ont.: Fleming, 1931, pp. 210–211.</ref> James Brooke was a close friend of Viscount Bury's uncle, [[Henry Keppel]] having met in 1843 while fighting pirates off the coast of Borneo.<ref>Jacob, Gertrude L. ''The Raja of Saráwak: An Account of Sir James Brooke''. London: Macmillan, 1876, vol. 1, ch. XIII.</ref> Townships to the northwest of Sarawak were named Keppel and Albemarle. In 2001, Sarawak and Keppel became part of the township of [[Georgian Bluffs]]; Albemarle joined the town of South Bruce Peninsula in 1999. Keppel-Sarawak School is located in [[Owen Sound]], Ontario.

[[Brooke's Point]], a major municipality on the island of [[Palawan]], [[Philippines]], is named after him. Both Brooke's Lighthouse and Brooke's Port are historical landmarks in Brooke's Point and are believed to have been constructed by James Brooke. Today, owing to erosion and the constant movement of the tides, only a few stones can still be seen at the Port. The remnants of the original lighthouse tower are still visible, although the area now has a new lighthouse.
