It is a part of Greater Cincinnati. Milford, an abbreviated form of mill ford, was so named because it was the first safe ford across the Little Miami north of the Ohio River, and was the only way for many people to reach the local mill. The population was 6,709 at the 2010 census. The Little Miami Bike Trail, which runs from Newtown to Springfield, Ohio, runs through Milford where several major hiking trails converge, including the American Discovery Trail, the Sea to Sea Long Distance Hiking Route, and the Underground Railroad Cycling Route. The city is served by the Milford Exempted Village Schools.

Overview of the Gatch Site, 2010 Milford has been inhabited since prehistoric times. A field along Gatch Avenue on what was once the farm of John Gatch has yielded large numbers of artifacts for several generations ; it is now believed to have been the site of a Native American village during the Woodland period. Today, the field is an archaeological site known as the `` Gatch Site. '' Nancarrow and Hageman The areas known as Milford, Old Milford, and Miami Township were built on a survey by John Nancarrow, a Revolutionary War veteran from Virginia. Miami Township was named after the Little Miami River and the tribe of Native Americans who once controlled this area. Miami Township was originally named O'Bannon Township in honor of the county 's first surveyor. The town began in 1796 as Hageman 's Mills near where two river ways -- the Little Miami River and its East Fork -- come together, and was later better - named Milford. The first Methodist class in the Northwest Territory was begun there in 1798. Due to financial troubles, Nancarrow, the first surveyor, never visited Milford, and instead sold his share of 230 acres ( 0.93 km ) of land to Philip Gatch on December 20, 1802, for a total of $920.00. Four years later, Gatch decided to sell 125 acres ( 0.51 km ) to Ambrose Ranson who, soon after, sold 64 acres ( 260,000 m ) to John Hageman. Hageman became the first permanent settler, naming the valley Hageman 's Mills. Main Street Milford 2007 Modern era By 1815, Hageman had left for Indiana, and the name Milford had come into popular use. In 1818 a wooden bridge across the Little Miami was completed, making the ford obsolete. More than a century later, on January 1, 1920, the mill that was the city 's namesake burned down. Today, Milford seeks to maintain its own urban identity, being exurb of nearby Cincinnati throughout the 1980s and 1990s, with many of its residents working in Cincinnati. Milford is the only city in Clermont besides Loveland, which includes parts of Hamilton County. Milford is 15 miles east of downtown Cincinnati along Columbia Parkway and across the Little Miami Scenic River in Clermont County. The City offers the convenience of being close to Cincinnati with and many opportunities for outdoor recreation including the Little Miami Scenic Bike Trail, the Little Miami River, and Valley View, a 150 acre nature preserve on the banks of the East Fork of the Little Miami. Schools Milford Schools senior graduates are called Milfordians. Residents who did not attend and graduate Milford, yet vote for Milford Schools, are known as Milfordites.
