About Milford, OH

“No wonder, then, that it struck with rapture […] the quaint and eccentric John Nancarrow, who had it surveyed for him on May 28, 1788 [as] Dutch burgomaster intended to found a city that should become the future metropolis of the West” (Louis Everts, 1880, p. 473). The area within Milford, Old Milford, and O'Bannon Township were all built on a survey by John Nancarrow, a Revolutionary War veteran from Virginia. O'Bannon, now Miami, Township was named for Clermont's first surveyor. A field along Gatch Avenue on what was once the farm of John Gatch has yielded large numbers of artifacts for several generations; it is now believed to have been the site of a Native American village during the Woodland period.
