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.

Until further notice, please stop all nonessential water use, including:

Watering lawns or gardens

Filling swimming pools

Washing vehicles

Any other unnecessary outdoor water use

Please also limit water use inside your home to essential needs only. Your cooperation will help maintain adequate water pressure and supply for the entire community.

🗳️ Before you head to the polls this November...

Let’s recap! You’ll see three separate questions on your ballot:

🛍️ Retail package stores — for off-premises sales
🍽️ Liquor-by-the-drink — for on-premises sales
💰 A 0.5% sales tax — to help fund public safety

Remember, each one stands on its own — you can vote yes or no on each independently. We’d just encourage everyone to take a few minutes to understand what each question would actually do, and weigh both the benefits and the costs for our community.

At the end of the day, this decision belongs to you, the voters of Brighton. 💛

Thanks for staying informed and engaged with your town!
