Milford, New Hampshire
Milford NH Area Information
Milford is located about 10 miles West of Nashua and southwest of Manchester.
Milford has a rich history. Separated from Amherst and established as an independent town in 1794, Milford was a prime stop on the Underground Railroad. Located in southern New Hampshire on the banks of the Souhegan River, the town is named after the River's shallow Mill Ford, so called after the many mills at this location in the eighteenth century. Milford is still a favorable spot for business. Made famous by the thriving granite industry and known as The Granite Town in the Granite State, Milford is home to manufacturing, information and service oriented businesses. The town is also a hotspot for tourism and is especially known for its antique shops and country craft stores.
Milford offers boating, biking, hiking, fishing, several restaurants, cinemas, bowling and centers for the performing arts. With easy access to the highway, Boston is just an hour south and the White Mountain National Forest just an hour north. With all the comforts and conveniences you could ask for, Milford is a wonderful community in which to raise a family.
