The Milford polo, for the town that was settled on the Wepawaug in 1639. Soft ring-spun cotton pique with the Milford vintage retro logo embroidered on the chest in white thread: hometown pride that passes at the office.

Choose the polo when a t-shirt is too casual and a logo too loud: the embroidered crest reads as a club mark, so it works for golf, a summer dinner or a workday. It is the Milford gift for fathers, grooms and anyone who already owns too many tees.

Our vintage-retro logo is embroidered on the chest of a semi-fitted pique polo in soft 100% ring-spun cotton (~5.2 oz/yd²). A classic 2-button placket with dyed-to-match buttons and side-seamed construction keep the look sharp for work, golf, or weekends, and the breathable, lightweight fabric stays comfortable in warm weather. Advanced fabric certification adds peace of mind. Care: machine wash cold (gentle), tumble dry low, no bleach, do not iron decoration, no dry clean. Embroidery uses thread rather than ink, so slight differences from the digital product image are normal; full details are in our Embroidery footer.

Milford’s planters bought Wepawaug from the Paugussett sachem Ansantawae in February 1639 and settled on August 22 of that year under Reverend Peter Prudden, making it the sixth-oldest town in Connecticut. William Fowler’s mill at the ford gave it its name in 1640, and Robert Treat left here in 1666 to found Newark, New Jersey.

The Milford Green is the second-longest in New England, the 1889 Memorial Bridge carries the founders’ names in stone, and Captain Kidd’s gold is said to be buried on Charles Island off Silver Sands. Seventeen miles of coast and the Milford Oyster Festival, the state’s largest one-day festival, round out the town. The mark on this piece is the Wepawaug.

A mile off Silver Sands Beach sits the town's most famous riddle: Charles Island, which the Paugusset called Poquahaug. At low tide a natural sandbar — a tombolo — rises out of the Sound and you can walk to it. The best-loved Milford legend says that in 1699 Captain Kidd, on his way to arrest in Boston, buried treasure there, iron chests of gold said to lie beneath the rocks and never found. The island is now a state-protected bird sanctuary, its woods a nesting rookery of herons and egrets, closed to visitors through the spring and summer — so the legend is best enjoyed from the beach, and the crossing only with the tide chart in hand.

Milford has always worked the Sound. Long Island Sound made it a town of oystermen and shipbuilders: oystering began here in the 1750s, oyster huts lined the shore, and beds were farmed in Gulf Pond. The trade was open enough that by 1878 sixteen of the town's forty-one oystering permits were held by women. The oyster on our logo is not decoration — it is Milford's own working heritage, pulled from these waters for nearly three centuries.

Why People Visit Milford

Milford balances a historic green, a legendary island, and miles of easy shoreline. Visitors enjoy simple seaside walks, boardwalks, and small cultural stops between the beaches and the harbor. It is peaceful, family-friendly, and close to nature, with year-round appeal in its parks, paths, and public spaces. History and everyday coastal life sit side by side here, from the long Green and the colonial downtown to the oyster boats and the boardwalk beyond.
