On the southwestern side of Miami County, visitors will find the delightful community of West Milton.
West Milton traces its heritage to an early contingent of Quaker settlers in 1796. One settler, Joseph
Evans, named the town Milton, in honor of his daughter’s favorite author, John Milton, author of
“Paradise Lost”. The forbearers of the family had come from a town in England by the name of West
Milton, as it later became known.
Upon your arrival in West Milton, you will be welcomed by a lovely rural community. Stroll through its
historic downtown filled with art, antiques, and unique, vintage finds and delicious local eats and treats.
There are a variety of local shops and restaurants to enjoy during your visit.
The Stillwater River, a state scenic river, flows along the Easter edge of West Milton and provides a
beautiful landscape for fishing, canoeing, or kayaking. Visit Barefoot Canoe to explore the Stillwater
River and all its beauty.
