The Town of Milan, New Hampshire
Milan, Coos County, New Hampshire was first granted to Sir William Mayne, Paul Wentworth, and others on December 31, 1771 (same day as Maynesboro or Berlin) under the title of Paulsburg; it retained this name until December 16, 1824, when the modern name was chosen. The name of Milan was chosen by Governor Levi Woodbury, who named it after a friend of his called Milan Harris. In 1810, the population was about 14. Among the first permanent settlers was John Ellingwood. Mr. Ellingwood settled on Barrows Mountain, named after his wife, Rachel Barrows, and is now called Milan Hill. Ellingwood was a farmer, a good Christian, and a deacon of the Methodist church. He died about 1830. His son Isaac was the first white child born on Milan Hill.
