History

The area within Milford, Old Milford, and O’Bannon Township were all built on a survey by John Nancarrow, a Revolutionary War veteran from Virginia. O’Bannon Township, now Miami Township, was named for Clermont’s first surveyor. A field along Gatch Avenue, on what was once the farm of John Gatch, has yielded large numbers of artifacts for several generations. It is now believed to have been the site of a Native American village during the Woodland period. The settlement commenced in 1796 near where two riverways—the Little Miami River and its East Fork—come together. It was later named Milford. The first Methodist class in the Northwest Territory was begun there in 1797. Due to a great Methodist influence, including the life of Rev. Francis McCormick, Milford is at the root of Methodist religious heritage westward from Appalachia. Nancarrow, the first surveyor, sold his share of 230 acres (0.93 km) of land to Philip Gatch on December 20, 1802, for a total of $920.00. Four years later, Gatch decided to sell 125 acres (0.51 km) to Ambrose Ranson who, soon after, sold 64 acres (260,000 m) to John Hageman. Hageman became the first long settler, naming the valley Hageman’s Mills. Nowadays, the field next to Gatch’s Estate belongs to the Valley View conservancy, having been an archaeological site called the Gatch Site.

After generations as a village, in 1982 after a census count of 5232, Milford attained city status.
