About Milton
A Brief History of Milton
Jasper Martin & family moved to Canada in 1821 from England. They settled the area near Martin Street and the Mill Pond where they established a gristmill using the 16-mile creek to turn the millwheel.
The gristmill became the centre that drew settlers to the area and Milton grew into a thriving agricultural community. The Martins became influential to the point of naming the Town after their favourite poet John Milton.
The early settlers of Milton and the surrounding districts were primarily from Great Britain and Ireland, as well as Loyalists who left the United States during and after the American Revolution.
Development was rapid through the 1850s and 1860s. The first library was organized, the first newspaper appeared. John Martin built the large stone Town Hall and Market House and the first Halton Agricultural Society Fair was held.
In 1853 the village of Milton was designated the County Town of the new County of Halton. County buildings were built, such as the Court House and Jail (now the new Town Hall) and the Registry Office (now the Hugh Foster Hall).
In 1857 the town was formally incorporated and an election was held to form a Town Council. The first meeting of the Council was on July 4, 1857. At this time, “Milton” was confirmed as the name of the town. George Brown was chosen as the first Mayor of Milton.
