Folks in Brighton who want to travel elsewhere have IS 20/59 and US 11 to use.

The name of this town is derived from the memories of their homeland that the early settlers from England had; leading them to name the city after the English tourist and resort city of Brighton. In the late 19th century, the city owed its existence to the fact that it lay along a dummy railroad line built by the Bessemer & Birmingham Railroad Company to connect those two cities. Shortly therafter; a landowner subdivided a tract of land and sold lots at affordable prices. The city began to grow and by the early 20th century when others saw promise in the city there were seventeen commercial establishments.
