Milford, County seat in Pike County, Pennsylvania.
Milford is the county seat of Pike County and spreads across roughly 0.5 square miles (1.3 square kilometers) on an escarpment. Its wide streets follow a grid layout near the Delaware River.
The settlement was founded in 1796 when Judge John Biddis established it and named it after his ancestral home in Wales. This early founding made it a center of activity in the emerging region.
The Pike County Historical Society Museum holds the Lincoln Flag, which draped President Lincoln's box during his assassination at Ford's Theatre. This artifact connects the town to one of America's most pivotal moments.
The town is easy to explore on foot because streets follow a clear grid layout. Visitors can take their time observing architectural details as they walk through the downtown area.
Some 400 buildings in the Milford Historic District display Late Victorian architecture, comprising most structures in this zone. This concentrated collection lets visitors trace how a single architectural style developed across many buildings.
