Brighton is an unincorporated community in Tillamook County, Oregon, United States.[1] It is about Шаблон:Convert southwest of Wheeler on U.S. Route 101 next to Nehalem Bay, across the bay from Nehalem Bay State Park.[2]
A town was platted at this locale in 1910 and named Brighton Beach, although it is not directly on the Pacific Ocean.[3] It was named for the seaside resort of Brighton, England, and it was hoped the place would become a popular vacation spot.[3][4] Brighton post office was established in 1912 and closed in 1957.[3] Brighton Beach was also the name of the Southern Pacific Railroad station on the Tillamook Branch.[1][3] Today the line is owned by the Port of Tillamook Bay Railroad (POTB). The Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad, a non-profit museum group, operates a heritage railroad in conjunction with the POTB that runs dinner trains from Garibaldi to Wheeler that pass through Brighton.[5][6]
In the early 20th century, Brighton was the home of the Brighton Mills Company, which ran a sawmill and planing mill.[7][8] The company was founded in 1911 by the Watt brothers of Bay City.[4] The mill closed in 1926, however, during World War I, it was credited with producing more spruce lumber for aircraft than any other mill in the country.[4]
