Milford, Coastal city in Connecticut, United States
Located between New Haven and Bridgeport, Milford extends along seventeen miles of Long Island Sound coastline with the Wepawaug River flowing through its center.
The settlement began in 1639 when English colonists acquired land from Ansantawae, chief of the Paugusset tribe who lived near the Wepawaug River.
The Milford Arts Council presents theater productions while the Historical Society maintains multiple preserved colonial houses, including the Eells-Stow House.
The city connects to major transportation routes through Interstate 95, U.S. Route 1, and the Metro-North New Haven Line railway station.
The town green stands as the second longest in New England, featuring monuments and serving as a central gathering space for community events.
