Origin:
Incorporated in 1794, the town was probably named for its location near a shallow water crossing on the Souhegan River by an early mill site known as the Mill Ford. It was separated from the town of Monson, which ended up on the Massachusetts side of the border. Milford is also known as the Granite Town, because of extensive high-quality granite quarries.

More about Milford:
Milford is well known for its variety of antique stores, an area known as "antique alley" and country craft stores. The Milford oval is a particularly quaint town square that takes the shape of an oval, with a gazebo as its centerpiece and the Souhegan River as its backdrop.
