Milford is a town in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, United States, on the Souhegan River.

Milford separated from neighboring Amherst in 1794. Like most towns named Milford in the United States, its name comes from the fact that it grew around a mill built on a ford—in this case on the Souhegan River.

Milford was once home to numerous granite quarries, which produced a stone that was used, among other things, to make the pillars for the U.S. Treasury in Washington, D.C.—pillars that can be seen on the back of the American $10 bill,[3] although it is unclear whether that will remain after the bill is redesigned. Its nickname remains "The Granite Town", although only one small quarry is in operation as of 2017.
The town is known for its "Pumpkin Festival" which is normally held in early October. It is held over a three-day weekend and attracts more than 35,000 people. The festival has many attractions including food vendors, music stages, craft fair, carved pumpkin lighting, a haunted trail, a beer and wine tasting and a fireworks display around the Oval.
