"The English speaking people seem to have a remarkable partiality for the name Milford. Lippincott's Gazetteer describes no less than forty-three towns, post-villages, and other places in this country, besides six in England. Doubtless the family will continue to multiply, since enterprise and prosperity have gen- erally accompained the name." "Our Milford covers a territorial area of over nineteen square miles or 12,170 acres by exact measure. "
"The first record of the proceedings of the town after its incorporation is preceded by the following preamble: 'The Honored General Court was pleased to make this plantation a Town, the 15th day of May, 1667, and named it Mendon, and adorned it with several large Privileges and confirmed their line and the lands within the bounds thereof, to the present Inhabitants and their Successors, as by said Court's Act doth appear, which land was purchased of the Indians, as by their Deed will appear.'"
(Milford remained a part of Mendon until the Act of Incorpora- tion was passed by the General Court of Massachusetts on April 11, 1780.)
