History-
Brighton began as Hughes Station named after John Hughes who owned the
stage line between Denver and Cheyenne. Daniel F. Carmichael purchased
240 acres at Hughes Station from the Denver Pacific Railroad and by
1882, owned 720 acres. Carmichael thought that there should be a town
in the splendid valley, so he asked his wife, who in-turn named
Brighton after her birthplace Brighton Beach, New York. The City of
Brighton was incorporated on July 26, 1887.
