Brighton Culture & History

Brighton became a fishing village as early as in 13th century but the official name of Brighton was accepted only at the beginning of the 18th century.

Brighton merged with its neighbouring town Hove in late '90s and many cosmetic architectural alterations and improvements followed inside this city.
