Milford is located in both Kent and Sussex Counties, Delaware, and has a history dating back to the late 1600s. The community became an important regional center through milling, shipbuilding, and commerce along the Mispillion River. Incorporated in 1807, Milford flourished during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with shipbuilding becoming one of its most important industries.
