We are a community born of the river.  It is the mill at the crossing of the Mispillion that formed our name.   This river was home to two centuries of shipbuilding that made us a center of maritime industry.  This river remains our link to the vital waters of this great peninsula.

Though the nature of the river has changed, it is no less important to our lives.  It bisects our downtown, makes us the heart of two counties, and is the centerpiece of a rebirth centered on recreation, the arts, and community.

Our downtown is the heart of our creative transformation.  Our galleries, shops, and performance spaces are gathering places for people from all walks of life.  Our events allow us to celebrate the place we call home.

We remain a center of commerce for a rural community, an escape from the pressures of urban life, and a community centered on family.  We are the kind of place where a children’s class inspires leaders, a landscape inspires artists, and a history inspires vision.

We are Milford, Delaware- River town, Art Town, Home Town.
