The land on which Brighton sits was initially part of the Green Oak Township, separating from it in April of 1838. The first settler to the area was Elijah Marsh in 1832, but the first person to actually purchase land was Hugh Alexander in 1833. According to City Town Info, when Marsh arrived to the area, he established a post office and became postmaster for the town.
