History

The Town of Milton is centrally located in Saratoga County, New York, with the Kayaderosseras Creek, picturesque, historic and NYS-designated prime trout stream, winding its way from the northwest to the southeast where it flows through the Village of Ballston Spa and continues on into Saratoga Lake.

Established as a Town in March 1792, the area had been earlier settled by homesteading pioneers, the first being the David Wood family c1772. Milton is today a unique blend of its earliest settlements with today's residences, commercial enterprises, and outdoor recreational facilities, along with a commitment to maintain and enhance this mix into the 21st Century through forward looking planning and carefully developed zoning regulations.

The greater portion of the Town of Milton lies within the Ballston Spa Central School District, but some students in northern and eastern areas attend schools in the Saratoga Springs City School District while others in the western area are in the Galway Central School District. Additionally, there are some parochial and private schools in the area as well as numerous higher education opportunities within the region.

Served by east-west NYS Rt. 67 and NYS Rt. 29, along with north-south NYS Rt. 50, interior Milton includes a network of well-positioned and maintained town and county roads. Several I-87 Adirondack Northway interchanges can be reached quickly and directly. Thus, Milton's location provides easy access to the myriad of services, employment opportunities, cultural programs, and recreational activities found in the City of Saratoga Springs, the greater Capital District, Glens Falls, and the Adirondack Park
