City and Destination Information
The following was taken from the website for the city of Milford. For additional information, visit their website at http://www.ci.milford.ct.us.
Welcome to Milford, "A Small City with a Big Heart!" Strolling through
downtown you get that small town feeling coupled with the charm and the sense
of history of an English settlement dating from 1639. Walk over the Hotchkiss
Bridge, gaze at the gorge framed by the arch of the Memorial Bridge, stop for
an ice cream cone, and rent a bike and tour, then return to have a lobster
dinner. Or you might opt for a romantic Victorian setting at a classic New
England Inn.
Seventeen miles of Long Island Sound coastline funnel into our harbor that
winds its way to meet the Wepawaug River in the heart of town. The sixth
oldest town in Connecticut, 50,000 residents are proud to boast of a
meticulously maintained "town green", the second longest in New England.
Multiple memorials in honor of those who have served in past conflicts parade
down the grassway. A memorial bridge provides a stone passageway of history of
our ancestors.
A feeling of "Milford Pride", along with ample cultural, recreational,
educational and employment opportunities make the City more than just a great
place to visit. Many high quality arts and crafts shows, varied festivals and
events make Milford a destination for daytrippers. Water recreation abounds
with access from boat launches, the Milford Lisman Landing Marina, multiple
city beaches, and Silver Sands State Park. The Connecticut Audubon Coastal
Center at Milford Point offers views of the estuary and Long Island Sound and
their inhabitants and an educational program to explain all. The new
architecturally awarded addition to Milford Hospital provides for health care
needs as it has for the last 80 years.
Rounding out our unparalleled quality of life is a strong retail community
that provides shoppers with all aspects of consumer goods. From the mall to
the varied and diverse shopping opportunities of our small retailers-we sell
it all. Boasting an ever-expanding automobile row, furniture stores, specialty
shops, restaurants and hotels, ready to fulfill all types of consumer
requirements.
A diversified economy supports manufacturing, retail, corporate office, and a
service industry. Unemployment is at an all-time low. Home to manufacturers
of consumer products, fabricated metals, plastics, as well as dot.com,
investment, and hi-tech firms, Milford welcomes all to its corporate, research
and industrial parks.
