A Brief History of Milford
The frontier feeling that permeates Milford is appropriate as the first settler arrived in 1796. A decade later, thanks to several land grants, the village of Milford was born from 46 humble lots. Residents quickly put the river to work by erecting mills to harness the natural water power.
Over the next century, modernity followed – the first telephone in 1884, a steel bridge by 1894, followed by the first streetlights in 1907. Naturally, they had a parade to celebrate.
While the town has grown in the century since, it’s home to just around 7,000 residents. Local kids still set up lemonade stands, and this tight-knit community is always eager to share smiles and a bit of history.
