Unattended Death and Biohazard Cleanup in Milford, NJ

Milford is a borough in western Hunterdon County, New Jersey, located on the Delaware River in the area known as the Hunterdon Plateau.

The borough dates to the mid-18th century, when a grist mill was established beside a creek in what was then Bethlehem Township.

Milford was the northernmost Hunterdon County village on the Delaware River and grew as an 18th-century mill seat, gaining railroad access in the 1850s.

Milford was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 15, 1911, from portions of Holland Township, based on a referendum held on May 8, 1911, with the incorporation confirmed on March 13, 1925.

The 2020 census counted 1,232 residents in Milford, almost exactly unchanged from the 1,233 counted in 2010.

The borough covers about 1.27 square miles and borders Alexandria and Holland townships in New Jersey and Bridgeton Township in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, across the Delaware River.

Much of the borough's 19th-century mill-town core is preserved in the Milford Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2025.

Just northwest of the borough, the Thomas F. Breden Preserve at Milford Bluffs offers rugged hiking trails through hundreds of acres of riverside forest above the Delaware.

Milford children attend Milford Public School for elementary grades and Delaware Valley Regional High School for high school.

The borough brands itself a 'Destination on the Delaware River' and is known for community events including bed races at the Milford Alive festival, a Halloween parade, and Christmas in Milford.
