Milton, Randolph County, Missouri
Milton is an unincorporated community in Randolph County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] An old variant name was "Firth".[1]
History
Milton was laid out in 1836, and named after Milton, North Carolina, the native home of a first settler.[2] A post office called Milton was established in 1840, and closed temporarily in 1872.[3] Upon reopening, the post office was renamed in order to avoid repetition with Milton, Atchison County, Missouri.[2] A post office called Firth was established in 1883, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1902.[3]
Milton once had a schoolhouse, now defunct.[4]

gollark: But this is also not very space-efficient (although most notes will be small enough that this isn't a massive issue).
gollark: I was thinking about how to do revisions in minoteaur™, you see, and the easiest method would just be to, on every edit, store a compressed version of the content (this is also what dokuwiki does).
gollark: I see.
