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.
