Milford Wedding

Milford is a city in New Haven County, Connecticut, United States. The population was 50,594 at the 2000 census. The city contains the Borough of Woodmont (a separate incorporated place within the city). The current mayor of Milford is James L. Richetelli, Jr.

The city has grown noticeably over the years, including rapid revitalization of the downtown and retail growth along Route 1, and today Milford faces the typical modern issue of deciding how much land to develop and how much to keep natural, especially in light of the city's location at the mouth of the Housatonic River. Laws favoring the preservation and restoration of older homes have helped maintain a traditional New England town ambience.
