The Town of Milford has a rich history. Separated from Amherst and
established as an independent town in 1794, Milford was a prime stop on the
Underground Railroad. Located in southern New Hampshire on the banks of
the Souhegan River, the town is named after the River's shallow Mill Ford,
so called after the many mills at this location in the eighteenth century.
Milford is still a favorable spot for business. Made famous by the
thriving granite industry and known as
The Granite Town in the Granite State, Milford is home to manufacturing,
information and service oriented businesses. The town is also a hotspot
for tourism and is especially known for its antique shops and country craft
stores. The town is about 10 miles West of Nashua NH and is accessible from
Nashua off of route 3 exits 7 or 8, following route 101 A West, or from the
North from Manchester, following route 101 West. |
