About Milton

During the early 1890’s, and mill was constructed on a hill overlooking the Puyallup Valley, and eventually a settlement was built around it. This settlement, known as “Mill Town, “was made up of lumber camp workers who furnished timber to feed to the mill. However, the U.S. postal service rejected the two-word name and the name was changed to Milton. After the construction of that Interurban Railway in the early nineteen hundreds, which ran in through Milton between Seattle and Tacoma, Milton grew into a larger community, and shortly after the first public school house was built. Soon after, the Milton Land Company helped develop the settlement into an organized to town. In 1905, the first post office opened, and Milton became official incorporated two years later. Eventually, Milton became less dependent on timber and grew into a bedroom community for those who commuted to the larger, surrounding cities nearby.
