The commune is surrounded by hills to the east and to the west. To the south, the marshes are crossed by the Somme. The town has been a strategic location over the centuries thanks to the four fords crossing the river here, the old boundary between Artois and Picardy.
Bray is a place name of Celtic origin meaning "marshy land". The name Braium has been documented since about 630.
