Brighton

Brighton is located just 20 miles northeast of downtown Denver on the edge of the eastern Colorado plains. Boasting a small town atmosphere and rich cultural and historic roots makes Brighton an ideal place to live, work and play.

Incorporated on July 26, 1887, the city of Brighton's founding fathers were determined that there should be a town that would "do credit to the splendid valley". The city was named the permanent county seat of Adams County in 1904. By the 2000 census, the "town" had grown to more than 20,000 people.
