	About the Town of Milton
		Milton is a contemporary suburban community in eastern Massachusetts that prides itself on a rich historical heritage, tree-lined streets, and acres of protected open space.

		Milton Abbas (10mi/16km northeast of Dorchester) is an exceptionally attractive 18th century "model" village, built largely out of self-interest in 1786 by Joseph Damer, first Earl of Dorchester.
