A post office called "Salmon" was established in the area in 1891, named after the nearby Salmon River.[1] The post office was renamed Brightwood in 1910.[1] The name Brightwood was said to have been coined by a local resident, Mr. Alcorn, for the pleasing effect of the sun shining on the cottonwood trees in the spring.[1]
