Milford separated from neighboring Amherst in 1794. Like most towns named Milford in the United States, its name comes from the fact that it grew around a mill built on a ford, in this case on the Souhegan River.

The ultra charming Milford Oval surrounding Union Square is the site of many small, local shops and restaurants. With the Pillsbury Bandstand as its centerpiece, and the Souhegan River as backdrop, it oozes stereotypical New England charm.

Union Square is the heart of Mliford’s downtown area and is host to many community activities, parades and events throughout the year. 

Milford is a very active community and places a very high value on education, with over 75 percent of Milford High School graduating to pursue higher education.
