MILTON

A spot on the map for many years, Milton is still an unincorporated town consisting of a school, a few grocery stores, and several other businesses and mostly residential area. In spite of not being incorporated, both the Milton Water District and the Milton Volunteer Fire Department have been formed, providing vital services to the community. Traveling east on Highway 92 through Milton, one negotiates an S-curve, where stands the parish church of St. Joseph Catholic Community... This, the Milton settlement, dates back to 1765 when French settlers came down Bayou Vermilion by boat, traveling south of Lafayette. In 1887, a post office was built in the area through the efforts of Dr. Milton Cushman, a physician who supplemented his income by being physician-postmaster.
