Subdivided in 1891 DP 2505 by the Excelsior Land Co. Brighton is a commonly used name near holiday, water, and seaside places. There is a town with this name in the UK. A few items of interest - the Fire Station (built in 1967), the Anglican Church (built in 1965), the Station Masters Cottage, Toronto Anglican Care Nursing Home, and Goffet Park (where the War Memorial was relocated to).
