New Brighton Revisited

New Brighton is nestled along the east bank of the Beaver River. The Constable brothers laid out the towns first lots in 1815. The surveyors then named the town New Brighton after their hometown on the southern coast of England. New Brighton Revisited is another entertaining look at the towns rich historical past. Citizens who were prominent in promoting the growth and prosperity of the town included Sen. Samuel White, Joseph T. Pugh, Francis Reader, and Daniel Corbus. Businesses such as Pioneer Twine Mills, Wisener and Bingham Carriage Factory, E.R. Boots Dry Goods, J.J. Snellenburg Clothiers, Bestwick Hardware, Martsolf Brothers Furniture Company, Pryde-Wynne Company, Lockes Service Stations, Morells Pizza Shop, and Pullions Paints and Supplies all helped to shape New Brightons development into what it has become today. New Brighton Revisited takes a nostalgic journey into the towns sports history, dating back to 1896. The community has seen a revitalization in the past year, with new businesses moving into the historic downtown area.
