Milford is a town in Worcester County, Massachusetts, United States.

Milford was first settled in 1662 as a part of Mendon after Native Americans, including the Sachem, Quashaamit, granted land to the early settlers.

[2] The Mill River flows through Milford and had several conspicuous fords that were familiar to the Native Americans, and used by the early white settlers.

Other notable buildings include the original Pennsylvania Station in New York City; the main post office in New York City; and more recently the Singapore Changi Airport in 2002.

[5] The Milford Hospital was donated in 1903 by Governor Eben Sumner Draper.

[2] Today, the health care facility exists as the Milford Regional Medical Center.

[7] In 2015 the hospital completed a $54-million expansion project that created a new emergency department and updated the intensive care unit, as well as patient rooms.

The core of Milford's governing system is the representative town meeting, where elected citizens can voice their opinions, but more importantly, directly effect changes in the community.

Milford was fictitiously featured in a 2008 episode of the Fox television series Fringe.
