About Milton, Massachusetts
Milton is a town of 28,630 people in Norfolk County, on hilly land that stretches from the Neponset River to the Blue Hills. The Neponset people of the Massachusett called it Unquatiquisset, or Lower Falls, for the rapids where the river reaches Massachusetts Bay. In 1636 the land was granted to Dorchester, which also paid its Native owners twenty-eight fathoms of wampum for it. In 1662 the Dorchester land south of the Neponset became a separate town, named for Milton Abbey in Dorset, England.
The falls turned Milton into a mill town. A powder mill opened on the river in 1674 and ran until it blew up in 1744, and in 1729 Daniel Henchman started New England's first paper mill on the Neponset. Paper-makers were so scarce during the Revolution that in 1775 the Provincial Congress let four soldiers work at the Milton mill. In 1801 Josiah Bent began baking water crackers in a single oven at his Highland Street house. The business went on to supply hardtack to soldiers in the Civil War, and the wooden factory built by his grandson George H. Bent joined the National Register in 2000.
“In the autumn of 1634 the waters of the Neponset turned the first wheel ever set up on its shores, and ground the first corn ever ground by water power in New England.”
- The governor's hillGovernor Thomas Hutchinson's country house stood on Milton Hill. On December 16, 1773, Boston sent the tea ship Dartmouth's owner, Francis Rotch, out to the governor to ask for a pass. Rotch came back refused at about six o'clock, and the tea party took place that evening. Hutchinson left for England on June 1, 1774, after walking down to the Lower Mills.
- The Suffolk Resolves, 1774That September the Suffolk Resolves were passed in Milton, and the men who drafted the Declaration of Independence later took them as a model. Captain Daniel Vose's house has long been called the place where it happened, though townspeople still argue the point, and tree rings date the house's oldest section to about 1763. The house faced demolition in 1950, so it was carried from Adams Street to Canton Avenue. It is now the Milton Historical Society's headquarters.
- Vaccinated in one summerMilton decided in the summer of 1809 to protect every resident from smallpox. Dr. Amos Holbrook offered cowpox to anyone for twenty-five cents, and from July 20 people lined up at the Milton Hill school house, in the Scotch Woods and on Brush Hill. Within days 337 had been vaccinated, over a quarter of the town. In October twelve children were exposed to true smallpox, and on October 25 all went home well.
- Bass-viols and pianosIn 1798 Benjamin Crehore was building stage machinery for Boston's Federal Street Theatre when he repaired the orchestra's broken bass-viol. He then started building bass-viols himself, which the 1887 town history calls the first made in the country. By that same account, he made the nation's first piano in his Milton shop in 1800. Years later a Milton deacon in Thomaston, Maine, found a church bass-viol with a paper inside: Ben. Crehore, Maker, Milton.
- The Granite Railway, 1826On October 7, 1826, the first train ran over the Granite Railway. It hauled Quincy granite to a wharf on the Neponset, where boats took the stone on toward Charlestown for the Bunker Hill Monument. East Milton Square grew up as the Railway Village, where workers dressed the granite in four sheds. A switch frog and a piece of track from the line, shown at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, now sit in the gardens above the Southeast Expressway.
