Historically a part of the township of Hipperholme-cum-Brighouse, Brighouse's development was largely driven by the textile industry during the Industrial Revolution. The town became known for its woollen and cotton mills, as well as its stone quarries. The canal and railway systems significantly contributed to its growth and prosperity during this period.

Modern Brighouse is a commercial and residential center. It retains a number of its Victorian buildings and is a popular destination for shopping and dining. The town hosts several events throughout the year, including a Victorian Christmas Market and an Arts Festival. It is served by Brighouse railway station, providing links to surrounding areas and major cities.
