Welcome to Milford Township, Bucks County, PA

Nestled in the far northwestern corner of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Milford Township spans 28 square miles of rich history and natural beauty. Established in 1734 from a portion of colonial Bucks County—one of Pennsylvania’s original three counties—Milford Township carries a legacy of early American settlement and growth.

A Prime Location
Milford Township enjoys a convenient location just off the Quakertown interchange of the Northeast Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike (Interstate 476). Route 663 provides easy access to neighboring communities such as Quakertown, Trumbauersville, and Pennsburg, making the township a gateway to both local charm and regional destinations.

A Legacy Shaped by Nature
Originally a vast, wooded landscape, Milford Township’s abundant water sources, including Unami Creek, Macoby Creek, Butter Creek, Hazelback Creek, Licking Creek, Morgan Run, and Schmoutz Creek, fostered a thriving mill industry. This abundance of creeks inspired the township’s name, “Milford.”

Rich Cultural Roots
The township’s history is deeply intertwined with the diverse groups of settlers who made it their home. Mennonites arrived as early as 1712 from Germany, followed by English and Welsh settlers sent by William Penn. Later, German Lutheran and Reformed settlers from the Palatinate, along with Swiss and French Huguenots, enriched the community’s cultural tapestry.

Today, Milford Township stands as a proud testament to its vibrant history and continues to offer its residents and visitors a welcoming and dynamic place to live, work, and explore.
