Here is a quick summary of Brightmoor from their website:

The land on which the Brightmoor community was established (between Puritan and Fullerton to the north and south, and Telegraph Road and Evergreen/ Westwood to the east and west) was part of Redford Township from 1830 through the mid-1920s Mod cut: shortened, copyright protection.
