Samuel Brighouse Elementary School (1965- ) was built to serve the residents of Brighouse Estates.

Besides Manoah Steves, Samuel Brighouse (1836-1911) is probably the most recognizable name in the municipality. Indeed, the downtown core of Richmond is often referred to as Brighouse. Samuel Brighouse made two very successful purchases of land when he returned from the Cariboo Gold Rush. One was in the west end of Vancouver where he and two partners purchased 550 acres of forested land. Because of this purchase, they became known as the Three Greenhorns.
