Brighton is an unincorporated communityinLorain County, in the U.S. stateofOhio.[1]

History[edit]

Some say the community was so named on account of it being a "bright spot", while others believe the name is a transfer from Brighton, New York, the native home of a share of the first settlers.[2] A post office called Brighton was established in 1825, and remained in operation until 1904.[3] The first country store at Brighton opened in around 1839.[4]
