Milford: The Granite Town and the Souhegan River
Milford is a town of about 8,800 in western Hillsborough County, on the Souhegan River midway between Nashua and Peterborough. The town earned the nickname "Granite Town" because of its quarrying industry, which supplied stone for the U.S. Treasury Building in Washington, the Brooklyn Bridge foundations, and numerous other public and private projects from the mid-nineteenth century through the early twentieth. The Milford Granite Company and several smaller operators worked the ledges in the western and northern sections of the town.
The Milford Oval, the triangular town common at the intersection of Union Square and Nashua Street, has been the commercial heart of the town since the nineteenth century. Surrounded by three- and four-story brick commercial blocks, the Oval hosts the weekly farmers market and the Labor Day and Memorial Day parades. The Milford Town Hall, built in 1869 with granite quarried locally, still functions as the municipal building.
The Souhegan River runs through the middle of town and powered mills that produced textiles, furniture, and machinery. The town's current population is mostly residential, with manufacturing and commercial activity along Route 101A and the Elm Street corridor. Pumpkin Pond, Osgood Pond, and several conservation areas occupy the town's western portion.
