It is the home of the prestigious Milton Academy and the liberal arts college Curry College. Milton is the birthplace of former U.S. President George H. W. Bush and visionary Buckminster Fuller. The Suffolk Resolves were signed there in 1774. The Granite Railway, the first commercial railroad in the United States, passed through Milton and it is commemorated there with an original piece of the train track and switch.

[1]

Milton is a community between the Neponset River and the Blue Hills. It is bordered by Boston to the north, Quincy to the south and east, Canton and Dedham to the west. It is located near Boston Harbor, to which it has water access through the Neponset Estuary. Although the first English traders used Milton in the 1620s, the earliest permanent settlement occurred in 1634* when colonists created an agricultural community growing barley, rye and Indian corn. Milton was once part of Dorchester, and was referred to as "Unquity", the term used by the Neponset Tribe of the Massachusetts Indians as meaning "Lower Falls" which was translated into the Lower Mills after the establishment of the Stoughton Grist Mill in 1634. In 1662, "that part of the Town of Dorchester which is situated on the south side of the Naponsett River commonly called 'Unquatiquisset' was established as an independent town and named Milton in honor of Milton Abbey, Dorset, England."
