History:

  • Milan was first settled in 1831 by John Marvin.
  • First known as Farmersville, the name later changed to Tolanville and then to Woodward's Mills.
  • In 1836 it was renamed Milan, because the large number of grapes growing in the area reminded people of Milano, Italy.
  • Milan was incorporated as a village in 1885 and then later as a city in 1967.
