East, northeast of Cincinnati, along I-275, sits the community of Milford, Ohio. A mix of early 20th-century smalltown America and post-World War II suburbia, Milford is home to nearly 7,000 people. Here are seven fun facts about the town:
It was founded the same year Cincinnati was established
Milford’s first resident was the Rev. Francis McCormick, a Revolutionary War soldier who had obtained a thousand-acre land grant in 1796. He built a log cabin on the hill that today is 1000 Forest Avenue. The town was laid out in 1806 after the area was divided into townships. However, while most of Milford is in Clermont County, a little nub of it, which includes Jim Terrell Park along the Little Miami River, is in Hamilton County.
It’s an important historic center for the Methodist faith
In 1797 the right Reverend McCormick founded the first Methodist Class in the Northwest Territory. As such, Milford is at the root of Methodist religious heritage west of the Appalachians.
It’s named for two things
The village was originally called Hageman’s Mills, named after John Hageman, the man who laid out the village. In 1811, after Hageman moved to Indiana, the name Milford came into wider use, with the local newspaper adopting the name shortly thereafter. The name comes from the several mills that were in operation in the area as well as the fact that it was the first safe place north of the Ohio River to ford the Little Miami.
It has ancient Native American earthworks
While Ft. Ancient, Newtown, Mariemont, and nearby Serpent Mound in Adams County are well known for their Native American earthworks, it turns out Milford as a huge effigy mound located south of Rt. 50 and just to the west of Greenlawn Cemetery (below). It’s unclear what the purpose of this particular effigy was, but archaeologists suspect it had something to do with the solar cycle and that it was constructed during the Woodland Period (1000 BC to 1000 AD).
It was supposed to be the “future metropolis of the West.”
The area was first surveyed in 1788 by John Nancarrow. He felt it could become “the great metropolis of the West.” However, Losantiville, later renamed Cincinnati, became the region’s big city, eventually, thanks to its location on the Ohio River, across from the mouth of the Licking River.
It’s home to one of the area’s first “modern” shopping centers
Though it had long been a quaint village, Milford took the first steps towards becoming a post-World War II suburb when in 1956, the Gallenstein Brothers opened the Milford Shopping Center on Lila Ave. The plaza still welcomes shoppers to this day.
The Milford Parkway was supposed to be the Route 50 by-pass
When you exit I-275 near the River’s Edge shopping center, it looks like you’re getting onto another expressway, only to merge down to a two-lane road that takes you to a group of stores and restaurants. Originally, though, that road was supposed to be an expressway that was to bypass Milford, running from the east end of that interchange and rejoining Route 50 on the other side of the Little Miami River around the Terrace Park/Milford border.

In early 2024, I was desperate for a breakthrough. After losing my job during a company downsizing, I turned to investing hoping to grow my savings into something that could give me a second chance. That’s when I came across what looked like a golden opportunity: a high yield crypto investment platform that promised guaranteed returns and had glowing testimonials plastered all over social media. I did my due diligence or so I thought. The website was sleek. The customer support was responsive. They even had a fake interview with someone posing as a Forbes analyst. Everything felt real. So I invested. First, $10,000. Then, when I saw “profits” accumulating in my dashboard, I added more. Within 3 months, I had poured in $144,000 my entire life savings. Then one morning, I logged in and everything was gone. The site was offline. The Telegram group vanished. No emails were being returned. It hit me like a freight train I had been scammed. I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t sleep. My anxiety spiraled. I had let my guard down and now I was broke. I felt like a complete failure. That’s when someone in a victim support forum mentioned Malice Cyber Recovery. Honestly, I was skeptical. At that point, I didn’t trust anyone. But after reading more about their work helping people recover funds from crypto scams and wire fraud, I decided to reach out. From the very first consultation, they treated me with compassion not as just another case. They walked me through their digital forensic process, asked for wallet addresses, email trails, and even identified the offshore exchange that was laundering the stolen funds. To my shock, within eight weeks, they managed to track and recover nearly 80% of my lost money about $114,000. They even worked with legal authorities to freeze the remaining assets tied to the wallet that scammed me. It wasn’t just about the money it was about reclaiming my life. Without them, I’d still be stuck in that dark place, full of guilt and shame. I know many people don’t believe recovery is possible, but Malice Cyber Recovery gave me hope and they delivered. To anyone who’s been scammed and thinks it’s over: don’t give up. There is help out there. Just make sure it’s the right kind and for me, that was Malice.

HOW TO RECOVER STOLEN OR LOST BITCOIN/MALICE CYBER RECOVERY WILL SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS
A few months ago, I fell victim to a crypto investment scam that cost me $123,000. It was one of the most stressful experiences of my life. The people behind it seemed professional, the platform looked legit, and by the time I realized what was happening, my money was already gone. At first, I thought there was no hope. Law enforcement couldn’t do much, and I was told repeatedly that crypto scams were “untraceable.” But after doing some research, I came across Malice Cyber Recovery. I was skeptical at first they didn’t promise miracles, but they did say they had experience with these kinds of cases and a structured process in place. They explained everything clearly, including the need for an upfront fee due to the complexity of the scam. I hesitated, but eventually went ahead. Within a few weeks, they began showing me traces of where the funds had been moved. It wasn’t fast or flashy, but it was real progress something I hadn’t seen anywhere else. Long story short, they were able to recover my funds step by step. Not all at once, but by the end of the process, I had everything back. $123,000. Something I never thought was possible. If you’ve been scammed, I’m not saying there are easy answers. But I can say from experience: don’t give up too soon. With the right help, it might not be over

I met my wife when I was working and living in Alaska. Ever since we got married, it has been all good till she decided to go for a summit in another state where she met someone who became closer to her and eventually he eloped with her. All my efforts to get back home to me was all in vain and her family did their best to reunite us but nothing worked. Just like everyone else, I came in contact with Dr Isikolo and he eventually did wonders and now my wife is back to me. It was revealed that she was hypnotized by the guy who eloped with her. I am glad I never let my emotions get the best of me to have ended my marriage with her. Dr Isikolo is a strong spell caster and trust him when he says the results will manifest just after 48 hours.

I was still in college when I met my fiancé. We dated for quite a long time and cohabited and our relationship was approved by our parents. We got along and everything was perfect. He traveled out for some training and since then everything never became good for us again. He was seeing a lady over there and he tends to have committed much to what they shared and left me out the picture. I did all I can to fix the problem but nothing worked until I heard about Dr Isikolo. I contacted him and explained what I was going through and he promised to help which he did as promised. I complied with the instructions he gave me and he fixed the problem I had with my fiancé and now he’s back to me and we are getting married in a month. All thanks to Dr Isikolo.
