Milton is a town in Saratoga County, New York, United States.

[3] Some believe that the town was named after the poet, John Milton, while other sources state that it is a shortening of "Mill-town" for the early mill activity.

In 1807, part of Milton was lost when Ballston Spa became an incorporated village.

All of these mills were water-powered, and therefore succumbed to competition from electric-powered factories in the early 20th century.

It was one of the few trolley railroads in the country to serve primarily industry rather than carry passengers.

The Kesselring Site for Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program was established in 1948 in West Milton.

New York State Route 29 is an east–west highway across the northern part of Milton.

New York State Route 67 runs along the southern town line, and State Route 50 crosses the southern corner of the town, through Ballston Spa and North Ballston Spa.
