| The Town of Milton is an affluent suburban community between the Neponset
River and the Blue Hills. Although the first English traders used Milton
in the 1620's, the earliest permanent settlement occurred in 1634 when
colonists created an agricultural community growing barley, rye and Indian
corn. A powder mill established in 1674 is thought to be the earliest in
the colonies, taking advantage of the town's valuable water power sites.
Boston investors, seeing the potential of the town and its proximity to the
city, provided the capital to develop 18th century Milton as an important
industrial site with an iron slitting mill, paper and sawmills and the
first chocolate factory in New England in 1764. Benjamin Crahore began
making pianos in 1800 in what is thought to be the first piano factory in
the country. In 1809 the first public health drive in the country was held
in Milton to inoculate residents against smallpox. Situated at the head of
a tidewater, the town became a commercial trading center where goods from
the interior could be exchanged for West Indian goods. Prosperous
Bostonians, including Governor Hutchinson, followed their investments and
moved to Milton, creating an early estate district which grew side-by-side
with 125 farms. Also increasing the town's population were immigrants from
Ireland, Nova Scotia and Scotland drawn to the jobs the community offered.
Harvard University built a stone tower on Big Blue, the tallest hill on the
coast between Maine and Florida, to mark the meridian in alignment with its
observatory in Cambridge. Big Blue assumed an important meteorological
role, the state created a reservation including the hill and Milton Academy
and Fontbonne Academy were built, all during the 19th century. Laying of
streetcar lines fueled the rapid expansion of residential development and
between 1870 and 1915 Milton grew into essentially the community it is now,
a wealthy streetcar suburb with only some chocolates, biscuits and market
produce to remind residents of the past. By 1929 many of the big estates
were broken up into subdivisions continuing the town's residential growth.
Milton now retains a good many 19th century country houses and estates and
early 19th century workers' housing. |
