Brighton, Municipal town in Northumberland County, Canada.
The town extends along Lake Ontario between Toronto and Kingston, featuring the western entrance of the Murray Canal leading to the Bay of Quinte.
Founded in 1796, Brighton evolved from a small settlement into an agricultural center, gaining municipal status through the amalgamation of Brighton Township in 2001.
The Memory Junction Railway Museum, housed in a former Grand Trunk station, displays railroad artifacts that document the region's transportation development.
Presqu'ile Provincial Park offers 2.5 kilometers of sandy beaches, nature trails, and a marsh boardwalk for outdoor recreation throughout the seasons.
Part of Brighton sits on an artificial island created by the 1889 excavation of the Murray Canal, establishing unusual municipal boundaries.
