The Hughes family has been involved in fruit farming for over 100 years. Farmer John’s parents, Leslie and Jane Hughes, purchased this farm in 1960 when their farm in Mississauga (Dixie & Dundas) was sold for development. They purchased the farm from the Hartley family. The Hartley’s were fruit farmers as well and they had been here since the turn of the century. There are many seniors in Milton with fond memories of picking fruit as a youngster on the “old Hartley farm.” |

Town Hall Victoria Park has been formally designated as a heritage building under the Ontario Heritage Act. |
Milton’s earliest beginnings can be traced back to 1825, when an enterprising young man named Jasper Martin built a gristmill on a mill pond. By harvesting the power of the swiftly flowing water, Jasper’s gristmill prospered and grew to become the centre of a settlement called Martin’s Mills, with a population of just 100 people in 1837. |
