Milford (Utah)

Milford is in Western Utah.

Understand

History

Although settlers had established ranches in the area in the 1870s, Milford was not developed until after construction of the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad in 1880, which established a station here. Milford is a constructed name, an abbreviated form of mill and ford.

During the Great Depression, workers from a nearby CCC camp constructed a road from Milford to Beaver, Utah, to improve connections.
