The town of Brighton was founded by railroad man and real estate developer Daniel F. Carmichael at the junction of the Denver Pacific (now Union Pacific) and Denver and Boulder Valley Railroads. Carmichael determined; �There should be a town here that would do credit to the splendid valley.� The junction; originally named Hughes after the first president of the Denver Pacific Railroad; had a long history as a crossroads of the West. The town grew into an agricultural center for the Platte River Valley with a thriving sugar beet industry; dairies; and canning factories; but the changing economy would transform Brighton first into a suburban community and now into one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States.
