Brighton, Boston Brighton is a dissolved municipality and current neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, United States, and is located in the northwestern corner of the city.

Throughout much of its early history, it was a rural town with a significant commercial center at its eastern end. Brighton separated from Cambridge in 1807 after a bridge dispute, and was annexed to Boston in 1874. The neighborhood of Allston was also formerly part of the town of Brighton, but is now often considered separately, leading to the moniker Allston–Brighton for the combined area.

Benjamin Bates IV Born in Mansfield, Massachusetts, he was known later in his life as the "Mansfield Man" or "Great Mansfield," for his employment and philanthropic impact in the New England area. In the early 1830s, he moved to Bristol, Maine, and began a working residency at B. T. Loring Company before creating the Davis, Bates & Turner–a craft goods and service firm. He worked long hours at the firm often at the expense of his family life, and ushered in the early manifestations of Taylorism in industrial Maine to the praise and controversy of the public. After he sustained the Manhattan financial panic of 1873 in Maine, he became a public celebrity and created Bates, Turner & Co. Bates eventually moved to the then-booming town of Lewiston to establish the Bates Manufacturing Company and served as its president from 1850 to 1862. During the 1850s, water quality was a principal issue of the government, and the Maine State Legislature contracted Bates to build the Lewiston Water Power Company: a large mill-based enterprise that built the first canal in the city.
