About Milford
Milford is a city in New Haven County, Connecticut, United States. The
population was 50,594 at the 2000 census. The city contains the Borough of
Woodmont (a separate incorporated place within the city) and Devon. The current
mayor of Milford is James L. Richetelli, Jr.
The city has grown noticeably over the years, including rapid revitalization of
the downtown and retail growth along Route 1, and today Milford faces the
typical modern issue of deciding how much land to develop and how much to keep
natural, especially in light of the city's location at the mouth of the
Housatonic River. Laws favoring the preservation and restoration of older homes
have helped maintain a traditional New England town ambience.
The 1960s and '70s witnessed the construction of the Westfield Connecticut Post
Mall, one of the state's largest shopping malls, and the extensive commercial
development of the town's stretch of the Boston Post Road.
The city also became host to several headquarters of multinational corporations,
including the Subway fast-food corporation. The town also hosts the headquarters
of the BIC Corporation, which has in recent years moved most of its operation
outside of the city.
