Town of Brighton

Town of Brighton Situated in the center of Tipton County in West Tennessee, Brighton is a modern Mayberry. W. Smith, Sr. who gave the initial five acres for the Depot grounds.

While keeping the charm of a small town, Brighton has grown exponentially to offer a range of businesses and residential accommodations. Brighton was established in the year 1873 along the newly completed tracts of the Memphis and Paducah Railroad upon the lands of A. The new town was named for Mr. Bright, the first conductor on the Memphis Division of the said road. The new town grew quickly. By the late 1870's, Brighton had two dry goods stores, three grocery stores, two saloons, two blacksmith shops, two wagon shops, one brick yard, one steam saw and grist mill, one steam cotton gin, a Baptist church, two physicians, and a population around 100. In 1883, the veterans of the 7th Tennessee Cavalry, Confederate States of America made Brighton the permanent site of their annual reunion. At Brighton the veterans reunion took on new dimensions and it grew into a reunion of all Confederate veterans of Tipton County and the surrounding region. Over the years, attendance of this annual August event grew peeking at 15,000 in 1897. The Tipton County Confederate Veterans Reunion, as it became to be known, continued to be held at Brighton until 1940. Brighton was incorporated by the Tennessee General Assembly in 1913 and the town today continues to operate under the same charter.

🏈 Investing in What Matters Most 🏈

Mayor Hazlerig had the opportunity last week to spend some time with the Brighton Middle School Football team ahead of their Jamboree, sharing a few words of encouragement with these young athletes before they took the field.

We are honored to have a mayor who understands that serving a community means showing up, especially for our young people. Mayor Hazlerig always makes time for the things that truly count, and moments like these are what make Brighton such a special place to call home.

Best of luck to the Brighton Middle School football players and coaches this season! πŸ’ͺ🏈
