About Milton

Milton is a Cabell County town of 2,831 residents in the 2020 census, along the Mud River in the Huntington–Ashland metropolitan area. The town took its name from Milton Reece, who owned the original town site. Its most recognizable working institution is Blenko Glass, whose factory and visitor center keep hand-crafted glass tied to the town's industrial identity. Blenko's factory sits on Bill Blenko Drive in town. The visitor center and museum keep the glassmaking story visible outside festival dates. The local calendar runs through the Milton Farmer's Market, Market on Main food trucks, summer cruise-ins, and the Pumpkin Festival.

The Misty Rose Recreation Center handles gatherings and rentals, and Cabell County schools serve Milton Elementary and Milton Middle. Blenko's Festival of Glass adds demonstrations, classes, and other glassmaking events at the factory. Milton's streets follow the Mud River and connect a small Cabell County town to Huntington, with glass, markets, and recurring town events giving the place its everyday rhythm.
