About Milford

Milford is a quiet rural community in southwest Ellis County, located along US 77 and Interstate 35E between Waxahachie and Hillsboro. It got its start in the 1850s as a farming settlement in the Mill Creek valley and grew into a busy cotton town once the railroad rolled through. The town has stayed small over the decades, but its early days as an agricultural hub still show in the surrounding farmland and classic Texas architecture.
