History
Welcome to Milton - Delaware's Smallest Wonder.
Originally settled in 1672, Milton was once known as "Head of the
Broadkill" for its geo-graphic location at the head of the
Broadkill River. This location, just a few miles from Delaware Bay
and the Atlantic Ocean, was ideal for shipbuilding. Many
shipbuilders and sea captains lived and worked in Milton, and
evidence of this life is still visible in some of the historic
homes and landmarks in town. Today, Milton's historic district
encompasses more than 100 homes that are listed on the National
Register.
Milton's riverfront is known as the Governor's Walk, honoring the
many governors who lived in Milton, The Walk follows the Broadkill
River throughout the downtown business district.
Milton was once the "Holly Capital of the World", Milton at one
time in history produced more holiday holly wreaths and decorations
than any other location. Holly grows to a height of 60' and as you
travel some of Milton's streets today, these beautiful giants are
still a wonder to behold.
Enjoy the beauty of the area along with a sense of history through
the ages.
Cache
