Milford’s Mill History Shapes Early Milford Village Life
The Little Miami valley town of Milford grew from Hageman's Mill laid out in 1806 after John Nancarrow's 1788 hopes. It prospered as a milling hub with Kugler’s industries nearby, early mills and distilleries, and notable residents like Dr. Charles D. Gatch, who treated Lincoln. Milford incorporated in 1836 with Williams as mayor and Hughes as marshal, and early institutions included secret orders and schools.
