The population of the town of Milton has grown to over 80,000 and has more than doubled from the 1990’s after “The Big Pipe” waterservices were installed in 2001 bringing water to Milton from Lake Ontario. Further growth is forecasted for another 23 years as both residential and economic development boom. According to Statistics Canada, Milton has evolved from a town and country setting to one of Canada’s fastest growing communities.
What is it about Milton that is so appealing? The residents say they enjoy the “small town” character, old fashioned warmth and the town’s “natural assets” comprised of beautiful green spaces, parks and recreational areas. Milton is located on the edge of the Niagara Escarpment, a UNESCO world biosphere reserve and the Bruce Trail. Residents also enjoy being close to urban centres and the feeling of being very safe and secure.
In the early 1800’s, one of the first families that came to settle in the wilderness land that became known as Halton was the Martin family from Newcastle England. In 1822, Jasper Martin established the first industry in the area when he built a grist mill on the Sixteen Mile Creek and created Mill Pond to power the mill. In 1825 Martin added a sawmill and an ashery. The Grist Mill became the centre of the settlement known then as Mill Town and it had a population of about 100 people in 1837. In 1857, the town of Milton was incorporated. While the mill no longer exists today, the Mill Pond remains a welcome reminder of the Town’s origin. And one of the loveliest sights is the Mill Pond Millennium Gazebo which was built at the pond’s edge giving it the appearance that the gazebo is floating on water. Another prominent family that owned much of the land in Milton was the Foster family. Milton’s town hall (originally Milton’s Registry office), the Hugh Foster Hall in Victoria Park, was built in 1915 on land donated to the town of Milton by Mr. Hugh Foster.
In 1974, the boundaries for Milton changed with the creation of the Regional Municipality of Halton (replacing Halton County). The new town of Milton now includes the township of Esquesing (Halton Hills), Nassagaweya Township including the village of Campbellville and the northern section of Trafalgar (Oakville) and Nelson (Burlington). With these new boundaries and the inclusion of Escarpment Lands, the areas of tourism, recreation, and heritage conservation have increased in importance for the Town of Milton. Five large parks operated by Conservation Halton are located in the town. Learn more about parks like Kelso, Hilton Falls, Crawford Lake, Rattlesnake Point, Mountsberg and Mount Nemo at www.haltonparks.ca
Today’s Milton is a bustle of growth and activity. Milton has received much publicity after the 2006 Census showed that Milton was the fastest growing community in Canada with a growth rate of 71.4% from 2001 – 2006. The median age of Milton’s residents is 34.4 years old and 66.6% of residents hold a post secondary education (ranked 8th in Canada). The median income for a Milton resident is $37,041. Milton’s dynamic micro economy is comprised of automotive, advanced manufacturing, distribution and food production industries.
The town’s vision for future growth is that it be “Engaging, Balanced and Connected.” According to the town’s Official Plan [www.milton.ca], the town must be attractive and pleasing to the mind and eye through both its natural and physical beauty and through its resident’s caring, friendly and courteous manner. The town will be “tradition based but not tradition bound” as it grows with well-planned and appropriate mix of land uses and as it meets the diverse interest and activity needs of residents of all ages. To stay connected, the town will maximize the use of information technology and electronic communication to serve the residents, businesses and community.
