Milford Borough
Milford, New Jersey, is located on the
Delaware River in the northwestern portion of Hunterdon County, New Jersey. The
Borough dates to the mid-18th century when a grist mill was established here.
After the mill was destroyed by fire in 1769, the settlement became known as
Burnt Mills. The town became commonly known as "Millford" by the beginning
of the 19th century but by 1844 had lost one "l". It was incorporated in 1911
but the official incorporation was not registered until 1925.
A special town in its present
day, Milford maintains its sense of reality and hometown charm. Many local
businesses are family owned and operated. The whole community invites visitors
and neighbors to share their pride in "Milford on the Delaware", its heritage
and its culture.
