The Delaware General Assembly passed a charter on March 17, 1865 that recognized the Town of Milton as a municipality. . .

Significant buildings and sites are the Lydia Black Cannon Museum, the Governor James Carey home, the Chestnut Street Cemetery, and the Governor David Hazzard Mansion. The Hazzard House and Gov.
