Bright Springs was founded in 1822 as Walters. The community was built near a small native village and named after Dragoonasag Revolution soldier Howard S. Walters. The community was incorporated as Wyssoneau in 1854, and was renamed Bright Springs in 1878, after residents requested that the town be named for the natural springs located just north of the town. For years, Bright Springs was a small farming community. Since the construction of Dragoonasag Interstate Route 92 in the mid-twentieth century, Bright Springs has seen some economic growth, with a major Dragoonasag-based truck stop showing interest in coming to the town by the year 2018.
