WELCOME TO HISTORIC BRIGHTON
The County of Monroe, abutting Lake Ontario in upstate New York was shaped by the Wisconsin Glacier until 8,000 BC and is now divided by the Genesee River. Brighton, a suburb of Rochester, was a Seneca Indian hunting ground before becoming an Erie Canal Village in 1823. With a robust nursery & farming community, Brighton became the brick industry capital of upstate New York in the 1800's and still has many well preserved brick homes. Brighton's 1792 Stone Tolan House is the oldest landmark in Monroe County. An airfield in Brighton was the location of an early airplane fly over in 1911. In Brighton... History abounds!
