Milford, Massachusetts

Milford, according to the 2010 census, has approximately 27,000 residents. First settled in 1662 and incorporated in 1780, Milford became a booming industrial and mining community due to its unique location by the Charles River, the Mill River, the Blackstone River watershed, and large quantities of Milford pink granite. Home to our Tri-County Regional Chamber, Milford remains the hub for small and local businesses in Central Massachusetts.
