About Milford
River Town. Art Town. Home Town.
Milford is a City located in both Kent and Sussex Counties in the State of Delaware. The Mispillion River divides the City between the two counties and serves as a key destination for residents and visitors. A former ship building hub, Milford has since transformed into a vibrant area packed with galleries, small businesses, special events, performance spaces and gathering places. Milford proudly combines traditional small-town values with unconventional imagination and artistic sentiment. In November 2018, Milford was selected by the Kent County Tourism Corporation as the 2018 Village of the Year. Milford's proximity to the Delaware beaches and designation as a Downtown Development District (DDD) has enabled the City to experience exponential growth in economic development and housing stock. Additionally, the City is nestled between Route 1 and Route 113 making it an attractive location for industries, and businesses serving Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Maryland and Virginia.
